(9) Member States should establish Coordination Offices at national level to provide general support and assistance to all organisations on their territory operating for EURES and support the cooperation with their counterparts in the other Member States and with the European Coordination Office. Those Coordination Offices should in particular have the task of dealing with complaints and problems with job vacancies, and verify compliance issues as regards voluntary and fair labour mobility within the Union. Member States should, in cases where their territorial structure calls for a decentralised system, consider establishing, within the scope of the activities of the Coordination Offices at national level, Coordination Offices at regional and/or local level.
