Thematic review workshop: Cross-border concerted and joint inspections

The aim of the workshop was to share knowledge and experiences amongst members of the European Platform Tackling Undeclared Work in relation to one specific component of cross-border activities: concerted and joint inspections. Concerted (or parallel) inspections are undertaken by two or more authorities simultaneously in their own territory, and joint inspections are undertaken in one territory with participation of one or more other countries.

The workshop was the first stage in a larger mutual learning process among Platform members and observers about cross-border inspections and will lead to further opportunities for exchange and collaboration, notably through the development of a toolkit and follow-up visit. The workshop brought together participants from 22 countries, including representatives of national ministries, labour inspectorates, regional administrative agencies and tax authorities. The event was hosted by the Authority for Working Conditions (ACT - Autoridade para as Condições de Trabalho.
