ELA assesses risks and carries out analyses regarding labour mobility and social security coordination across the EU. This is done in cooperation with Member States and, where appropriate, the social partners and EU services, agencies and networks active in the field of social policy and employment. In this context, ELA:

• conducts strategic analysis on sector-specific challenges and recurring problems, and focused in-depth analyses and studies to investigate specific issues related to labour mobility and social security coordination;
• collects statistical data compiled and provided by Member States and streamlines data collection workflows;
• provides analytical support to concerted and/or joint inspections (CJIs) supported by ELA upon request of national authorities involved; it also supports the assessment of cases brought to ELA by social partners organisations;
• organises outreach activities and technical workshops to support analytical and risk assessment capacities in national competent authorities and the development of risk assessment capacity on issues of cross-border labour mobility and social security coordination in the EU.
