The Interpretative Communication on the Directive published by the Commission in 2017 and updated in 2023 gives further explanations and aims to provide legal clarity. The Directive is in line with the European Pillar of Social Rights which includes the right to safe and healthy work and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union which establishes the right to fair and just working conditions.
