A crucial part of ELA’s mission is to improve the access to relevant information and services on cross-border labour mobility in the single market. The Authority does this by promoting awareness on rights and obligations derived from EU legislation, supporting Member States and other information providers in the field of EU labour mobility.

Some of ELA’s supporting activities in this field are:

reviews of national and EU websites related to labour mobility topics;
support to Member States in translating relevant information into other languages;
support to information campaigns;
organisation of onsite events with EU-level and local partners;
support cooperation and exchange among information providers at EU and national level, and;
develop information material.

Facts and figures

Translation of information material

We reviewed 31 national and EU websites related to labour mobility topics and published a booklet on lessons learnt.

Workshops and information events

We deliver workshops and support national information events

From 2022, we have organised 5 workshops on effective information provision in seasonal work, with more than 100 participants from 13 Member States in total.

How to

Ask for translation facility services

Member State authorities can submit texts used on websites and other communication materials for translation – on topics like cross-border labour mobility or social security.

Organise an information event in your country

National authorities as well as social partners can team up with ELA to host events receiving support on content, speakers and logistics.

Ask for a website review

National authorities from EU Member States can apply for reviews of their websites. We deliver recommendations on how to further improve the accessibility, quality and user-friendliness of relevant information.

Learn from each other!

ELA has compiled lessons learnt on how to effectively provide information on national posting websites. Any institution wishing to further improve their website can profit from these findings.

Get inspired by good practices!

Each year, ELA launches a call for good practices to learn about approaches to labour mobility in the Member States. Topics may vary, reflecting ELA’s annual priorities, e.g., information provision in a certain sector.
