Articolul 15 - Libertatea de alegere a ocupației și dreptul la muncă

(1) Orice persoană are dreptul la muncăși dreptul de a exercita o ocupație aleasă sau acceptată în mod liber.
(2) Orice cetățean al Uniunii are libertatea de a-și căuta un loc de muncă, de a lucra, de a se stabili sau de a presta servicii în orice stat membru.
(3) Resortisanții țărilor terțe care sunt autorizați să lucreze pe teritoriul statelor membre au dreptul la condiții de muncă echivalente acelora de care beneficiază cetățenii Uniunii.

  • Text:

    Libertatea de alegere a ocupaţiei, consacrată la articolul 15 alineatul (1), este recunoscută în jurisprudenţa Curţii de Justiţie (a se vedea, printre altele, hotărârea din 14 mai 1974, în cauza 4/73, Nold, Rec. 1974, p. 491, punctele 12-14; hotărârea din 13 decembrie 1979, în cauza 44/79, Hauer, Rec. 1979 p. 3727; hotărârea din 8 octombrie 1986, în cauza 234/85, Keller, Rec. 1986, p. 2897, punctul 8).
    Acest alineat se inspiră, de asemenea, din articolul 1 alineatul (2) din Carta socială europeană semnată la 18 octombrie 1961 şi ratificată de toate statele membre, şi din punctul 4 din Carta comunitară a drepturilor sociale fundamentale ale lucrătorilor din 9 decembrie 1989. Expresia `condiţii de muncă` trebuie înţeleasă în sensul articolului 156 din Tratatul privind funcţionarea Uniunii Europene.
    Alineatul (2) reia cele trei libertăţi garantate la articolele 26 şi 45, 49 şi 56 din Tratatul privind funcţionarea Uniunii Europene, şi anume libera circulaţie a lucrătorilor, libertatea de stabilire şi libertatea de a presta servicii.
    Alineatul (3) se întemeiază pe articolul 153 alineatul (1) litera (g) din Tratatul privind funcţionarea Uniunii Europene, precum şi pe articolul 19 punctul 4 din Carta socială europeană, semnată la 18 octombrie 1961 şi ratificată de toate statele membre. Articolul 52 alineatul (2) din cartă este prin urmare aplicabil. Chestiunea recrutării personalului navigabil având cetăţenia unor state terţe în echipajele navelor care arborează pavilionul unui stat membru al Uniunii este reglementată de dreptul Uniunii şi de legislaţiile şi practicile naţionale.

  • Directive 2014/54/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on measures facilitating the exercise of rights conferred on workers in the context of freedom of movement for workers Text with EEA relevance

    Preamble:
    ‘(3) The free movement of workers gives every citizen of the Union, irrespective of his or her place of residence, the right to move freely to another Member State in order to work there and/or to reside there for work purposes. It protects them against discrimination on grounds of nationality as regards access to employment, conditions of employment and work, in particular with regard to remuneration, dismissal, and tax and social advantages, by ensuring their equal treatment, under national law, practice and collective agreements, in comparison to nationals of that Member State. Such rights should be enjoyed without discrimination by all Union citizens exercising their right to free movement, including permanent, seasonal and frontier workers. The free movement of workers needs to be distinguished from the freedom to provide services, which includes the right of undertakings to provide services in another Member State, for which they may post their own workers to another Member State temporarily in order for them to carry out the work necessary to provide services in that Member State.‘
    ‘(17) Protection against discrimination based on the grounds of nationality would itself be strengthened by the existence of effective bodies with appropriate expertise in each Member State with competence to promote equal treatment, to analyse the problems faced by Union workers and members of their family, to study possible solutions and to provide specific assistance to them. The competence of those bodies should include, inter alia, the provision to Union workers and members of their family of independent legal and/or other assistance, such as the provision of legal advice on the application to them of the relevant Union and national rules on free movement of workers, of information about complaint procedures, and of help to protect the rights of workers and members of their family. It may also include assistance in legal proceedings.‘
