The implementing directive on posted workers: and what now?

On 15th May 2014 the European Union adopted an implementing directive that meant to define the rules for the application of directive 96/71 concerning posted workers. This text is supposed to prevent the risk of fraud in a context that is marked by an increasing use of this arrangement. The new text is notably being completed by national initiatives in Germany and France. The European Commission is drafting a new text to be published on 8th March, a further reform of the 1996 directive.
