Labour mobility in the EU László Andor Mercator Senior Fellow at Hertie School of Governance (Berlin) Visiting Professor at ULB (Brussels) Poznan, 19 May 2015

Free Movement of Persons in the EU EU CITIZENS have the right to move and reside freely, including non-actives, pensioners and students (Art 21 TFEU) EMPLOYED plus family members Free movement of workers SELF-EMPLOYED Freedom of establishment POSTED WORKERS Freedom to provide services

Freedom of movement for workers Can look for a job in another member country     Can work there without a work permit Can reside there for that purpose Can stay there after employment has finished Have a right to equal treatment with nationals in access to employment, working conditions and all other social and tax benefits Can have their family members join them with derived rights

Impact of crisis on intra-EU mobility Mobility flows declined sharply from 2007-08 to 2009-10 (-41%) before recovering to some extent (+22%) in 2011-12. Recent (<2 years) mobile EU citizens and non-EU economically active persons ('000) Source: Eurostat, LFS and EC calculations.

Lessons learned from the impact of crisis on mobility People go where the work is Mobility flows in the EU have reacted more strongly to economic situation than in the US (contrary to the past) Some people go back when the economic situation in their country improves People willing to move but more scope for intra-EU mobility to increase  

Impact of (post-2004) EU mobility: Positive economic impact (GDP of EU-15 boosted by 1% in the long-run) Positive impact on economy - filling labour shortages Moderate impact for specific groups Very limited impact on wages / unemployment among natives Higher impact in major destination countries Possible negative impacts in short-run and on groups more likely to be substitutes (past immigrants, low-skilled natives)  

Impact of mobility on origin countries Could be negative on GDP due to large population outflows Impact on GDP per capita more limited Many young people leaving their origin countries The share of tertiary educated has increased in the last decade Remittances sent to origin countries No overall brain drain effect Mobility is not necessarily permanent phenomenon Many mobile workers come back with additional experience Possible strong impact for specific sector (eg: situation in the health sector)

Impact of mobility on social security in destination country + Fiscal impact likely to be positive, as mobile EU citizens tend to be economically active + EU mobile citizens less likely to receive social benefits - Problems at local level may occur due to sudden influx of poor EU mobile citizens in specific areas = impact on local services such as healthcare and education

EU policy for supporting labour mobility The EU’s three-pronged approach to promoting labour mobility: Remove remaining obstacles to labour mobility Actively support labour mobility and cross-country matching of jobseekers and vacancies Tackle economic and social challenges linked to labour mobility

1. Removing remaining obstacles to the free movement of labour ‘Portability’ of supplementary pensions Directive on improving the acquisition and preservation of supplementary pension rights for mobile workers Recognition of professional qualifications

2. Actively supporting labour mobility and cross-country matching of jobseekers and vacancies Enforcement Directive on the exercise of the right to free movement of workers advice to mobile workers easier redress when rights breached Upgrading EURES into a pan-European recruitment and placement tool

3. Addressing related economic and social challenges European Social Fund (> €80bn in 2014-20) Proposal for a European Platform to prevent and deter undeclared work Enforcement Directive on the posting of workers
