“This package will fundamentally change the single market for the better. Companies should be able to recruit the staff they need with less paperwork and fewer delays,” said Employment Commissioner Roxana Mînzatu in a press release on Tuesday about the proposal.

The idea is, among other things, that anyone who wants to work in an EU country other than their own should be able to easily obtain and send a digital version of their so-called A1 - a certificate showing which country’s social security system they are part of.
