European Social Partners in the Cleaning industry, UNI Europa and EFCI have adopted today a joint declaration on the European Commission proposal for a directive regarding the “Conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals in the framework of an intra-corporate transfer” COM (2010) 378. 



The present directive proposal in its current version could lead to a distortion of competition with potentially harmful effects on employment. As a consequence, in the position paper, EFCI and UNI Europa wish to draw the attention to a series of elements, which are of high importance to companies and employees providing cleaning services. Those elements would be crucial to avoid the serious risk for social dumping and unfair competition and the obtaining of work permits without any possible efficient control by the competent national authorities 

For these reasons, EFCI and UNI Europa, has also requested the exclusion of cleaning services from the scope of the proposed directive.

With a view to the upcoming vote in the European Parliament, UNI Europa and EFCI have sent their joint declaration to the relevant Committees, the Committee for Employment and Social affairs and the Committee for Civil Liberties, Justice and Home affairs with the joint demand to take into account the opinions and demands expressed by Social Partners in cleaning industry.
