2.1.4 General information

Additional information : Freedom of movement of workers is a fundamental right granted to the citizens of the Union by Article 45 of the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union (TFEU). A set of EU legal instruments is in place to guarantee the rights of mobile workers and their family members and to promote fair labour mobility, including a comprehensive legal framework that coordinates the national social security systems to ensure that persons moving within the European Union do not suffer any loss of social security rights. This can only be achieved if the EU coordination provisions are appropriate and in line with the economic and social developments in the national social security legislations they coordinate. Equally important is the regular monitoring of the actual usage of these rights. This includes exploring and assessing e.g. trickle-down effects following on their use as well as exploring the reasons and hindrances for a more comprehensive usage.In case of unavailability or disruptions in the functioning of the electronic means of communication provided in Section 5.1.11 in the last 5 calendar days before the time limit for receipt indicated in Section 5.1.12, the contracting authority reserves the right to extend this time limit and publish the extension at the Internet address provided in Section 5.1.11, without a preceding publication of a corrigendum to this notice.
