Governance of the EURES network
The activities of the EURES network are supported by the European Coordination Office (ECO) managed by the European Labour Authority. Each participating country (31) designates a National Coordination Office (NCO), generally linked to either their Public Employment Services (PES) or their Ministry of Labour. All NCOs, the European Commission and ECO are exchanging information and supporting the implementation of the EURES Regulation in the EURES Coordination Group (ECG). Representatives of the social partners at EU level have the right to attend the meetings of the ECG.
The European Commission and ELA are part of the EURES network. The European Commission is responsible for the political steer including legislation, reporting, evaluation, and grant management.
EURES Coordination Group
The mission of the EURES Coordination Group is to exercise a coordinating role with regard to the activities and functioning of the EURES network. It serves as a platform for the exchange of information and for the sharing of good practices across the EURES network, in particular regarding the development and dissemination of appropriate information and guidance to workers, including frontier workers, and employers. The Coordination Group shall support the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2016/589
