Around 17.5 million European citizens currently live or work in another Member State – twice as many as a decade ago. At the same time, millions of businesses operate across borders.

The European Labour Authority has the following objectives:

• Facilitate access to information and services to citizens and business about their rights and obligations;

• Facilitate cooperation between Member States in the enforcement of Union law within its scope, including by facilitating concerted and joint inspections, as well as by tackling undeclared work;

• Mediate and facilitate solutions in cases of cross-border disputes.
