Amendment 11 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 5 a (new)
(5a) Women are a category that has been greatly discriminated against and penalised in the workplace, as they are often forced to work free of charge, or as figureheads, thus greatly increasing the amount of undeclared work.

Amendment 13 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) A distinction should be made between those who resort to undeclared work in order to avoid taxes and obtain other benefits and those who are forced to work in such conditions, which has a serious impact on their rights. The Platform should help to shed light on the two separate cases and safeguard the less protected categories. Equality should be ensured between men and women in the fight against undeclared work.

(6b) Undeclared work has negative repercussions also on those who do it, for example with regard to their pensions, as well as on families, in particular single- income families with elderly women and single mothers.

Amendment 15 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 7 a (new)
(7a) The high burden of taxation to which citizens are subject is one of the main causes of undeclared work, since those who provide a service are objectively unable to deal with the high tax levels. Until the tax burden becomes lighter and there are true equal rights between men and women, undeclared work is destined to grow, to distort the rest of the market and to have repercussions on families. The Platform should look in greater detail at the correlation between the tax burden and undeclared work, by analysing updated statistics.

Amendment 19 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 8
(8) A wide range of policy approaches and measures to tackle undeclared work have been introduced across the Member States. Member States have also concluded bilateral agreements and carried out multilateral projects on certain aspects of undeclared work. The Platform will not prevent the application of bilateral agreements or arrangements concerning administrative cooperation. Member States should, however, adopt measures with a view to establishing fairer and more sustainable working conditions, by reducing the tax burden for workers in order also to combat undeclared work and to protect women, in particular, as a highly disadvantaged category.
