2. INTRODUCTION
ILO Conventions establish a balanced approach between law enforcement and prevention
On undeclared work, this balance is quite more delicate

3. SANCTIONS
The imposition of penalties against employers who use undeclared workers is always controversial and the effectiveness of the sanctions is limited

4. SANCTIONS
European Directive 2009/52 of 19 of June for minimum standards on sanctions and measures against employers of illegally staying third-country nationals

5. PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Awareness raising campaigns, information brochures, partnership agreements, other incentives
Legalization programs
