Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) Undeclared work has serious budgetary implications through decreased tax and social security revenues. It has negative impacts on employment, productivity, compliance with working conditions' standards, skills development and life-long learning. It undermines the financial sustainability of social protection systems, deprives workers of adequate social benefits and results in lower pension rights and less access to healthcare. Undeclared work should be tackled in the Member States through the application of appropriate tax and social policies.

Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) Undeclared work has negative effects also on the functioning of the single market. 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. The main responsibility for tackling undeclared work will remain with the Member States.

Proposal for a decision
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) The Platform should involve the European Parliament, the social partners at EU level, both cross-industry and in those sectors more severely affected by undeclared work, and cooperate with relevant international organisations, such as the International Labour Organisation (ILO), and Union decentralised agencies, in particular Eurofound and European Agency for Safety and Health at Work. The involvement of Eurofound and European Agency for Safety and Health at Work in the work of the Platform as observers will not extend their existing mandates. The representative from the European Parliament should have an observer status in the Platform.

Recital 22 a (new)
Recital 22 a (new)
(22a) Although the Platform is a useful first step towards better cooperation among Member States in the fight against undeclared work, it should not be seen as the only possible Union instrument against that phenomenon. In particular, the Commission will continue to monitor existing national and Union legislation, in order to establish whether this encourages directly or indirectly undeclared work.
