The European Commission is conducting two public consultations aimed at improving cross-border labour mobility and facilitating the recognition of professional qualifications across Europe. Both consultations explicitly highlight the specific challenges faced by border regions, where many workers travel daily across national borders.

The Fair Labour Mobility Package focuses on removing obstacles to cross-border employment.
You are cordially invited to the public consultation, which is open until 2 February 2026 at the following link:

The Skills Portability Initiative seeks to simplify the recognition of skills and qualifications across borders.
The consultation is open until 27 February 2026 at the following link:
