Establishing an EU talent Pool

Командироване на работници
„Командирован работник“ е работник, изпратен временно от работодателя си да извърши услуга в друга държава — членка на ЕС. Свободата на установяване и свободата на предоставяне на услуги са основни свободи, залегнали в Договора за функционирането на Европейския съюз (ДФЕС). Принципът, уреждащ статута на командированите работници, е „равно заплащане за една и съща работа на едно и също място“.
