A general approach to the proposal for an enforcement Directive on posted workers has been agreed by the Council of the European Union. Employment, social policy, health and consumer affairs ministers hope the proposal will balance protection for posted workers with the principle of European businesses being free to provide services anywhere in the EU. It is supported by employers in construction, a sector that uses large numbers of posted workers, but unions have been critical.
