Summary
La Strada International has contributed to the call for evidence for the Evaluation of the Employers Sanctions Directive. The European Commission is reviewing this Directive on irregular employment, focusing on inspections, penalties, subcontracting liability, and worker protection. The review follows a 2026 report that found gaps and inconsistent enforcement across member states. The consultation could lead to new legislation in 2027.
