A proposed revision of the EU Commission on the posting of workers has been rejected by eleven national parliaments.
This set the stage for a third quorum are met, forcing the Commission to make adjustments or withdrawal of the initiative. The proposal aims, to realize the principle of "equal pay for equal work in the same place of employment" in foreign assignments even better.

At the vote, it came as a result of a complaint, after which the draft revision to the subsidiarity- and the principle of proportionality is contrary. Majority against the proposed innovation voted the MPs in Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary. they argue, Member States could enforce ensuring equal working conditions and nationally, if they consider it useful. Furthermore, social consequences and impact on small and medium enterprises are neglected in the proposed revision.

As a direct result of this so-called. 'Yellow card' is delayed a possible decision on the proposed revision. A temporarily canceled working group meeting within the Council should be made up in June. The EU Parliament is only deals with the topic, if the Commission has taken a decision on further action. With a final decision can be expected only after the summer break to all appearances.
