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.

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.
