The kick-off was greeted by RadosÅ‚aw Owczarzak (European Commission – DG EMPL). The sessions focused on the legal framework and definitions, the research questions and the collection of administrative micro-data on posting in terms of posting trends and patterns, fraudulent posting, the impact of COVID-19 and the revision of the directive. At the end of the meeting, social partners expressed their wish for better comparative data and more reliable quantitative evidence across the EU to be used in policy-making, which this project is aiming to contribute to.
