Directive (EU) 2019/1152 on transparent and predictable working conditions in the European Union is a direct follow-up to the proclamation of the European Pillar of Social Rights. It aims at improving working conditions by promoting more transparent and predictable employment while ensuring labour market adaptability.

As for other Directives in the field of labour law, the Commission set up an Expert Group composed of national experts representing the Governments of the twenty-seven Member States, the three EEA-EFTA countries and the EFTA Surveillance Authority in order to provide Member States with technical assistance and with a forum for discussing and facilitating the transposition of the Directive. The European Social Partners participated in the work of the group as observers.

The report aims at supporting the legislative work leading to the transposition of the Directive in the Member States and EEA/EFTA countries.
