According to The Local, the European Commission has launched legal action against 17 member states this week. The dispute concerns the application of a new directive regarding the single permit process. This procedure is designed to allow third-country nationals to obtain both a work permit and a residence permit through a combined application, replacing the previous system which required separate filings.
The action follows the introduction of the new regulations, which aim to streamline administrative processes for non-EU workers. Further details regarding the specific nature of the non-compliance have not been disclosed.
