The European Labour Authority (ELA) supported a joint roadside inspection on a high way parking area in Belgium today. The joint inspection focused on controlling drivers of Heavy Duty Vehicles in the context of compliance with the driving and rest time and tachograph rules that have been modernized recently through the adoption of Mobility Package 1. The event was co-organised with ROADPOL (the European Roads Policing Network) and the European Commission (DG MOVE).

As part of the Rights for All Seasons – Campaign on Seasonal Workers, the European Labour Authority, together with the European Platform tackling undeclared work has launched an interactive game through which you can interact and experience how declared work benefits all.

The European Labour Authority has for the first time organized a joint inspection between two member states – France and Bulgaria - aiming to properly enforce rights of EU mobile workers. The action took place between 14-17 September in France with the participation of Bulgarian labour inspectors. The purpose of the joint inspection was to tackle recurring serious violations of labour and social rights of seasonal workers in the agricultural sector.
