Posting of workers - Collection of data from the prior declaration tools: reference year 2022

This report provides an overview of the prior declaration tools implemented by the Member States and their characteristics. In addition, based on data from these prior declaration tools, figures for reference year 2022 are reported on the characteristics, extent, and impact of posted workers. These data as well as other data collected at EU level based on information from the Portable Document A1 are vitally important to monitor the phenomenon of posting. Data about and from the prior declaration tools of the receiving Member States is collected on behalf of the European Commission through a specific questionnaire. Since 2023, the data collection is carried out in collaboration with the European Labour Authority (ELA). To carry out this task, ELA forwarded the questionnaire to the designated contact persons of each Member State.
