Recital 1

Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) This Directive should be applied without prejudice to the principle of Union preference as regards access to Member States’ labour market as expressed in the relevant provisions of Acts of Accession. According to that principle, the Member States should, during any period when national measures or those resulting from bilateral agreements are applied, give preference to workers who are nationals of the Member States over workers who are nationals of third-countries as regards access to their labour market. In addition, it must be ensured that Member States do not lay down the lowest level of legal protection for intra-corporate transferees.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 15
Recital 15
(15) Unless this condition conflicts with the principle of Union preference as expressed in the relevant provisions of the Acts of Accession, no labour market test should be required, since this criterion would be in contradiction with the purpose of setting up a transparent and simplified scheme for admission of intra-corporate transferees. Member States or their authorities may perform labour market tests at their own discretion and investigate whether particular posts could not be filled by people who are seeking employment on the labour market of the Union.

In accordance with the principles of subsidiarity and multi-tier government, Member States should consult local and regional authorities before taking any decision on the number and qualifications of third-country nationals to be admitted to their territory.
