The project is an ‘evidence’ type of action addressing the need to enhance the implementation and correct application of Directive 96/71/EC, as amended by Directive (EU) 2018/957, and of Directive 2014/67/EU in the light of risks of vulnerability of posted workers due to COVID-19 and possible similar crises. Results shall inform policymaking on how specificities of posted workers can be dealt with in case similar emergencies arise in the future. The action targets mainly: Italy, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Romania and Spain through a network of sectoral funds (CNCE, ULAK, FLC Asturias, CASOC, and the umbrella organisation AEIP), research institutes/universities (FGB, ISCTE IUL) and a trade union (ZZ Budowlani). The lead applicant, CNCE, besides being directly involved in research activities, will coordinate the action with the support of FGB, tasked with scientific coordination, and of AEIP for dissemination activities. In addition, country-level research activities will be undertaken by ULAK for Germany, ISCTE-IUL for Portugal, ZZ Budowlani for Poland, and FLC Asturias for Spain. CNCE will hire an external researcher for Romania, to be supported by the associate organisation CASOC. Beyond having a balanced representation of sending and hosting countries, the action will focus on the construction sector, albeit exploring transferability of final results to other sectors. The action will deliver a set of reports: inquiring the impact of COVID-19 on posted workers (EU Report and 6 country reports), assessing measures meant to counteract the related negative effects (EU Handbook), exploring new tools to inquire pay, travel and accommodation arrangements offered to posted workers (Discussion Paper), and promoting procedures to be phased in quickly in case of risk of pandemics to address the particular position of posted workers (EU Toolkit and Final Report).
