Abstract

This paper aims to analyze Directive 96/71 on posted workers which regulate an aspect of free movement of services, that of moving workers from one state to another state within the movement of services. Provisions of directive 96/71 aim to remove obstacles and uncertainties and limitations that affect the implementation of the free movement of services in the displacement of workers from one country to another. Issues Laval, Viking, and interpretation of the jurisprudence of the ECJ occupy a prominent place in this paper, after serving as guides for the implementation of the Directive by the Member States, as well as various conflicts between national legislation regarding the status of displaced workers and their rights provided by the Directive.
