Securing a practical exemption from A1 requirements for genuine short-term cross-border business travel has been a core BT4Europe advocacy priority for several years.
We are pleased that this objective is now reflected in the political agreement following sustained engagement with the European Commission, Parliament and Council.
Together with Francesco Corti, Cabinet Member for EVP Commissioner Roxana Mînzatu, we discussed:
- 𝑾𝒉𝒚 the A1 rules needed to change and the challenges companies have faced for years.
- 𝑯𝒐𝒘 stakeholder feedback helped shape the final agreement.
- 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 the new rules mean in practice, including the new exemptions for genuine business trips and certain short-term work activities.
- Practical examples showing when an 𝑨1 certificate 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 – and will 𝒏𝒐𝒕 – be required.
- The 𝒏𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒑𝒔 before the new rules become applicable.
- 𝑾𝒉𝒚 this agreement strengthens both fair labor mobility and Europe’s competitiveness while maintaining worker protection.
𝑨 𝒌𝒆𝒚 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑸&𝑨: Whether an A1 certificate is required depends on the nature and duration of the activity, rather than the employee’s profession or sector.
Employers should also continue applying the current A1 rules until the revised Regulation formally enters into force.
