Dealing with third-country nationals working in the EU

Description

In recent years, the debate about rights-based mobility in the EU, about cross-border labour recruitment and about the way to deal with skills shortages have brought the phenomenon of third country nationals (TCNs) working inside the EU (back) on the agenda. Social partners, governments and inspection services all deal in different manners with the issue. In principle, the entrance to the labour market is a national competence based on policies formulated by an individual Member State. Unlike the free movement of EU-citizens, the recruitment of TCNs falls under migration right, a legal area that is almost exclusively assigned to the Member States. Member States decide on this entrance, based on points systems or national quota, ‘sponsorship’ by companies, blue cards in case of high-skilled workers or on (bilateral) agreements with preferred and dedicated countries. This introduction is based on experiences that inspection services have with TCNs on the labour market. It
is drawn from 12 contributions of partners involved in the Eurodétachement-project.
