Amendment 81 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
(5) A European Labour Authority (the ‘Authority’) should be established in order to help strengthen fairness and trust in the Single Market. To that effect, the Authority should support the Member States and the Commission in strengthening access to information for individuals and employers about their rights and obligations in cross- border labour mobility situations as well as access to relevant services, support compliance and cooperation between the Member States to ensure the effective application of the Union law in these areas, and mediate and facilitate a solution in case of cross-border disputes or labour market disruptions.

Amendment 164 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14
(14) To increase Member States' capacity to tackle irregularities with a cross-border dimension in relation to Union law within its scope, the Authority should support the national authorities in carrying out concerted and joint inspections, including by facilitating the implementation of the inspections in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 2014/67/EU. These should take place at the request of Member States or upon their agreement to the Authority's suggestion. The Authority should provide strategic, logistical, and technical support to Member States participating in the concerted or joint inspections in full respect of confidentiality requirements. Inspections should be carried out in agreement with the Member States concerned and take place fully within the legal framework of national law of Member States concerned, which should follow up on the outcomes of the concerted and joint inspections according to national law.deleted

Amendment 183 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17
(17) The Authority should provide a platform for resolving disputes between Member States in relation to the application of Union law that falls within its scope. It should build on dialogue and conciliation mechanisms that are currently in place in the area of social security coordination, which are valued by Member States60 and their importance is recognised by the Court of Justice61 . Member States should be able to refer cases to the Authority for mediation according to standard procedures put in place for this purpose. The Authority should only deal with disputes between Member States, while individuals and employers facing difficulties with exercising their Union rights should continue to have at their disposal the national and Union services dedicated to dealing with such cases, such as the SOLVIT network to which the Authority should refer such cases. The SOLVIT network should also be able to refer to the Authority for its consideration cases in which the problem cannot be solved due to differences between national administrations. __________________ 60 Council, Partial general approach of 26 October 2017 on the proposal for a Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 on the coordination of social security systems and regulation (EC) No 987/2009 laying down the procedure for implementing Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 13645/1/17. 61 Case C-236/88 EU:C:1990:303, paragraph 17; Case C-202/97 EU:C:2000:75, paragraphs 57-58; Case C-178/97 EU:C:2000:169, paragraphs 44- 45; Case C-2/05 EU:C:2006:69, paragraphs 28-29; Case C-12/14 EU:C:2016:135, paragraphs 39-41; Case C-359/16 EU:C:2018:63, paragraphs 44- 45.deleted
