ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP

What is the EURES Cross-border Partnership?

The EURES (EURopean Employment Services) Cross-border Partnership has been established to make things easier for those who wish to commute daily or weekly across the border in order to earn a living. It does this by attempting to overcome at least some of the obstacles which people face.

In particular it addresses information gaps. For example, jobseekers not knowing what employment and training opportunities exist on the other side of the border, how the taxation system works or how their social security entitlements might be affected by accepting a job.

The Partnership also aims to assist employers by providing them with access to a larger pool of labour i.e. jobseekers living on the other side of the border. Advice is available to employers on a range of cross-border recruitment issues.
