Since its establishmentq the EU has
focused its efforts on achieving
high levels of employment and social protection, improving
the living and working conditions
and economic and social cohesion. The priorities of these policies are to enhance
the employment and mobility
of workers, to improve the quality of work and
the working conditions, to
raise the awareness and provide consultation to workers,
to combat poverty and social
exclusion, to promote gender equality, to
improve social protection
systems, etc. To achieve these
objectives, the Community adopts legislation defining the
minimum requirements at EU
level in the different areas of social policy. The Member States transpose the
Community legislation into the
national law and implement
it, ensuring a similar level of protection of the
rights and obligations
across the EU. The
national authorities are
responsible for the implementation of the national transposition
measures and ensure their proper enforcement through their own control
mechanism. The
General Labour Inspectorate Executive Agency at the Minister of Labour and Social Policy has principal responsibilities in relation to the control on the legality of the work done at any
workplace in the country, including by foreigners.
The European Union has
been rising to the challenge in the field of labour law of guaranteeing
the free movement and work
of the citizens of the Member States within the Community. The existing EU legislation in
this area provides the European citizens with the
right to move freely within the EU to work and defends the social rights of the
workers and their family
members. In this dynamically evolving area, where the labour
market policy and the process of European integration are at the core of the
changes, the free movement not only helps to realize the idea of a single
market but also contributes to the social, economic and cultural inclusion of
migrant workers in the host Member States.

In the field of the
free movement, Bulgaria supports the
provision of fair labour
mobility on the
internal market and maintains an environment guaranteeing this fundamental
right of the European
citizens in its territory. The right to work in another Member State is an essential element of
the principle of free movement of persons within the European Union and an
essential aspect of the European integration. Determining
the
persons covered by the
EU
legislation on the free
movement of workers and the conditions under which this legislation applies,
it is necessary to distinguish between migrant workers and other categories
of EU citizens -
posted workers and self-employed persons who benefit form the freedom of
establishment or the provision of services in other Member States. Alongside the freedom of movement of
people, the freedom to provide services is one of the basic principles for
the functioning of the EU
single internal market. A
fundamental expression of this freedom is the opportunity, guaranteed by the EU law, for
undertakings established in the territory of one Member State to post workers and employees to provide services in the
territory of another
Member State.
