8 concerted and joint inspections took place across the EU on 6 - 12 October, in Austria, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czechia, Finland, Greece, Lithuania and Romania. The actions were carried out by labour inspectors as well as enforcement officers from customs, social security, tax, police and migration authorities. Visiting inspectors joined from Belgium, Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, France, Italy, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.
The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) and the European Labour Authority (ELA) have jointly launched a new practical guide to help workplace inspectors to identify and address labour exploitation. The guide will also help workers to claim and enjoy their rights across the European Union.
