Macron slams EU posted workers rules
By EUobserver
French president Emmanuel Macron kicked off a three-day European tour on Wednesday. At his first stop in Austria, he began by criticising EU rules that allow companies to send workers to other member states without paying local social charges. "The European directive on detached workers, in its current format, is a betrayal of the European spirit," Macron said. He heads to Romania on Thursday and Bulgaria on Friday.
