Pilot editions in Florence and Ghent pave the way for ELA’s certified diploma in EU labour mobility.

ELA presented awards to four exemplary Good Practices during the ELA conference in Bratislava on 20 June 2023. One of the Good Practice Awards in the field of seasonal work was presented to EURES Slovakia, Central Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family, for the good practice “Cooperation in seasonal employment between Slovakia and the Netherlands”. The practice was awarded as it can be easily implemented by countries with similar demands in seasonal work. 

The European Labour Authority’s fifth call for good practices resulted in 12 submissions from seven Member States across four priority areas: youth and students, long-term care, PD A1 digital portals, and tackling undeclared work.

The European Labour Authority (ELA) brought together authorities, social partners and experts from Czechia and six other Member States in Prague on 6-7 October 2026. The national event supported cooperation and the exchange of practices to improve the detection and prevention of disguised job placement.

ELA supported Austrian and Slovak authorities in a targeted joint inspection on 22 September 2026 to check compliance with rules on posting, minimum wages, undeclared and under-declared work, bogus self-employment, and social security registration. Members of the European Parliament, as well as the Austrian Minister of Labour, observed the inspection to see how cooperation between Member States in enforcing EU labour mobility legislation with ELA support works.
