Each day, thousands of cross-border workers commute between Flanders and the Netherlands. Despite rapid relocation there are, to this day, practical obstacles in the way of law and legislation that hinder cross-border mobility. Grensinfovoorziening Vlaanderen-Nederland (Flanders-Netherlands border information provision) is showing cross-border workers the way. Each day, thousands of cross-border workers commute between Flanders and the Netherlands. Despite rapid relocation there are, to this day, practical obstacles in the way of law and legislation that hinder cross-border mobility. Differences in the tax systems, social security, healthcare and labour law make cross-border living, working and studying quite complex. Grensinfovoorziening Vlaanderen-Nederland (Flanders-Netherlands border information provision) is showing cross-border workers the way. The organisation is making all relevant information accessible via a uniform umbrella network, which will comprise of existing and new border information points. Within the framework of the Tendenzen zonder Grenzen (Trends without Borders), from Interreg IV, the Sectorbureau Grensarbeid (Border Working Sector Agency) has been set up as a pilot. The agency took the initial initiatives for facilitating cross-border labour mediation. The first steps were taken to organise information provision for cross-border employment in East Flanders, West Flanders and Zeeland. Thanks to this project, since the beginning of 2016 employees and employers have been able to address their questions to the East Flanders network for border info points in Eeklo, Zelzate, Ghent, Sint-Niklaas and Beveren. These info points can be found in the VDBA job centres, the East Flanders ACV and ABVV branches and at VOKA in East Flanders. Grensinfovoorziening VL-NL (Flanders-Netherlands border information provision) is taking this further by expanding the sector agency so that labour supply and demand in the border region can be matched even more efficiently and effectively. Shortages of technically qualified teaching or healthcare staff, for example, can be made up with cross-border commuters. (English)
