Memorandum by Eurociett
Starting from a comprehensive presentation on
the positive contribution of the agency work industry to better
functioning labour markets, Eurociett puts forward the flexicurity
concept as a policy approach for a meaningful labour market reform
agenda. In its contribution, Eurociett advocates to create a level-playing
field for temporary agency work services, particularly by reviewing
and lifting unjustified restrictions and discriminatory measures
the agency work industry is currently still facing in several
EU Member States.
Furthermore, Eurociett calls for taking account
of the stepping-stone function of the agency work sector and its
contribution to the integration of those groups that are furthest
away from the labour market.
With regard to the specific questions on the
employment status of temporary agency workers and triangular employment
relationships included in the Green Paper, Eurociett provides
evidence in its submission that there is no need for further regulation,
as both the employment status of temporary agency workers and
the triangular employment relationship are already clearly and
comprehensively regulated by national labour law.
