Your Excellency,

I am pleased to invite you to the presentation event of the report from the Commission

Committee on the application and implementation of Directive (EU) 2018/957 of the

Conference Centre Albert Borschette, Rue Froissart 36, 1040 Brussels.

The event is organised by the European Commission’s DG for Employment, Social Affairs

and Inclusion and will mark the publication of the report as well as the accompanying staff

working document. The report (1) reviews the application and implementation by Member

States of Directive (EU) 2018/957, as required by its Article 2. The staff working

the Directive in greater detail than in the report to the EU institutions, which focuses on

the main trends.

During the event, both documents will be presented to the Member States and participants

Ministry and one from the Labour Inspectorate). We kindly ask you to confirm your

The participants will then receive all the necessary information and the agenda via the

Please note that only two participants per Member State are eligible for reimbursement of
