This proposal for a Regulation aims to enhance access of workers to intra-EU labour mobility support services, thus supporting fair mobility and increasing access to employment opportunities throughout the Union. It replaces the provisions on the exchange of information on job vacancies, job applications and CV’s across Member States (“clearance”) found currently in Chapter II and Article 38 of Regulation 492/2011 and is based on Article 46 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the Union. It also (re)establishes the European network of Employment Services, called EURES, the purpose of which will be to provide assistance with job search and recruitment across Member States. A similar network is active today on the basis of a Commission Decision adopted in 2012. Therefore, upon adoption of this Regulation, the Commission will repeal the above Decision on the functioning of the current EURES network. Article 45 of the Treaty secures the freedom of movement for workers within the Union while Article 46 sets out the measures to bring about this freedom, in particular by ensuring close cooperation between the Public Employment Services (PES). The Commission also recently introduced a proposal to establish a network of PES to deepen cooperation and mutual learning based on Article 149 of the Treaty. That network will cover a wider range of objectives and initiatives in the form of incentives and is complementary to this proposal. |
