Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) In accordance with Articles 45 and 46 of the Treaty, Regulation (EU) No 492/2011 lays down provisions intended to achieve freedom of movement for workers by ensuring close cooperation between the Member States and with the Commission. EURES should promote better functioning of the labour markets by facilitating transnational geographical mobility of workers, providing greater transparency on the labour market, ensuring the clearance of vacancies and applications for employment and supporting activities in the areas of recruitment, advice and guidance services at national and cross-border level, thereby contributing to the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy. The EU initiative 'Your first EURES job' should make it easier for young people to access employment opportunities and take up a job in another Member State, as well as encouraging employers to create job openings for young mobile workers, which should have a positive impact on high youth unemployment.
