The European Union has introduced a set of new measures aimed at making it easier for workers to move between member countries. On Tuesday, September 15, the EU's executive body, the European Commission, announced these proposals, which focus on simplifying the process of verifying workers’ social security and professional qualifications. One key element involves storing social security records in national digital identity systems, such as France's "France Identité," in a standardized digital format. This would allow employers to quickly check whether an employee from another EU country is properly covered by social protection programs, reducing administrative hurdles for both workers and companies. The proposals also address the challenge of recognizing professional qualifications across borders. Many workers face difficulties when moving to another EU country because their diplomas or training certificates may not be automatically recognized. To fix this, the EU plans to integrate new qualifications into digital identity wallets in a common format. This would make it easier to compare these credentials with existing professional titles across the 27 EU member states using a centralized European database. The Commission is also exploring a unified process for recognizing qualifications from non-EU workers, aiming to address labor shortages in key sectors. Another part of the proposals involves strengthening the European Labour Authority, based in Bratislava. This body would be given more power to inspect and combat undeclared work, which is a major issue in many EU countries. These measures are part of several draft texts adopted by the Commission and now require approval from the European Parliament and member states before they can be implemented. The overall goal of these proposals is to complete the European single market, an economic area that includes 450 million people. Despite its size, the single market still faces internal barriers that hinder free movement of goods, services, and workers. By reducing these obstacles, the EU hopes to boost economic growth and create more employment opportunities across the continent.
