Seventeen European Union (EU) member countries have two months to take action with respect to reasoned opinions sent them by the EU Commission in January 2023 about a lack of compliance regarding the registration systems for posted workers under EU law. Otherwise, the Commission will open a proceeding against each country before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
In 2021, the European Commission (hereinafter “EU Commission”) called on 241 of in total 27 EU member states to adjust their individual systems for mandatory registration of posted workers so that they comply with the relevant EU legislation.2
Since then, the EU Commission has tried to urge the member states in question to comply. However, in January 2023, the EU Commission sent a reasoned opinion to each of the 17 countries3 that are still not complying with the requirements for changes in their registration systems.
