(8) In view of the long duration of certain posting assignments, it is necessary to provide that, in case of posting lasting for periods higher than 246 months, the host Member State is deemed to be the country in which the work is carried out. In accordance with the principle of Rome I Regulation, the law ofapplicable terms and conditions of employment should be those established by the host Member States therefore applies to the employment contract of such posted workers if no other choice of law was made by the parties. In case a different choice was made, it cannot, however, have the result of depriving the employee of the protection afforded to him by provisions that, without prejudice to more favourable terms and conditions of employment afforded to the worker under provisions from which the parties cannot be derogated from by agreement under the law of the host Member State. This should apply from the start of the posting assignment whenever it is envisaged for more than 24 months and from the first day subsequent to the 24 months when it effectively exceeds this duration. This rule does not affect the right of undertakings posting workers to the territory of another Member State to invoke the freedom to provide services in circumstances also where the posting exceeds 24 months. The purpose is merely to create legal certainty in the application of the Rome I Regulation to a specific situation, without amending that Regulation in any way. The employee will in particular enjoy the protection and benefits pursuant to the Rome I Regulationnational law which would have applied otherwise. This rule does not affect the right of undertakings posting workers to the territory of another Member State to invoke the freedom to provide services.

It would be most suited for these challenges to be addressed through sector-specific legislation together with other EU initiatives aimed at improving the functioning of the internal road transport marketwhich should be supplemented by sector-specific legislation.
