Summary/Abstract: Directive 2019/1152/EEC of the Council and the European Parliament on the transparency and predictability of employment relationships was adopted to improve transparency in the EU labour market. It had to be transposed into national legislations by 1 August 2022, but two years after the deadline, not all Member States complied. The Directive was necessary following the analyses on the application of Directive 91/533/EEC, which obliged employers to inform employees about the essential conditions of the employment contract. It has been implemented with significant variations between Member States, resulting in unequal employee protection and influencing the coherence of the European labour market. This research aims to analyze the needs that led to the adoption of Directive 2019/1152/EEC.
