Summary of the action
Never before has it been as important, given the uncertainty for workers, jobseekers and employers in the border region of Ireland, to have strong supports for those who live, work, employ and seek
employment. The mission of the EURES Cross Border Partnership is to support frontier and cross border workers, jobseekers and employers in the Ireland - N Ireland border region by raising and
improving awareness of the cross border labour market, the benefits of mobility in the EU and to help employers, workers, jobseekers and job changers in this border region to capitalise on the
opportunities offered through their access to the labour market in the border region of the island of Ireland and the free recruitment service that the EURES Cross Border Partnership and wider European
network can provide. The Action Plan for the next 24 month period aims to ensure that the Partnership will continue to provide a wide range of services in these uncertain times to our target groups in this
border region, primarily to encourage and facilitate job placement and recruitment opportunities in the region, to try and overcome some of the obstacles that exist currently, to keep cross border workers
informed and encourage cross border labour market movement. In keeping with the EURES regulation and priorities, a strong focus on job matching and placement, employer engagement and support,
evaluation and social media as well as sustainability are central to the action plan. The region has moved on from the violent conflict that has blighted it for many years however the decision of the UK
Referendum on EU membership has emphasised cross border issues in this region particularly in relation to working and living conditions and has created an overwhelming desire for information in this
region from employers, workers and jobseekers regarding the ‘next steps’. This well-functioning EURES Cross Border Partnership has a very important and influential role to play in fostering this
cohesion.

Summary of the action
The main objective of our action is to increase the number of placements supported by EURES. In our activities presented in 4 work packages we focus on different ways to increase the number of
advertised vacancies, improve our service delivery to jobseekers, improve the quality of our information material and increase the overall awareness of our services. Increase in number of job vacancies
and high quality information to jobseekers is prerequisite for an increase in placements. Our activities include "speed-dates" with employers, targeted promotional e-mails and visits to employers, review
of standardised answers to e-mails from jobseekers, information seminar on moving to other Nordic countries, development of videos/webinars to both inform our target groups and promote EURES,
EURES day to increase the awareness of EURES internally, market campaign focused on social media etc. In our action we also emphasise training of staff as we believe it is the foundation for
increasing the quality of our services.
Our target groups include domestic small size employers from sectors in need of employees, e.g. tourism, construction and services. Jobseekers are our other target group, especially foreign jobseekers
that want to work in Iceland, but also domestic jobseekers, job changers, graduates and unemployed individuals. Thirdly we target our EURES staff, assistants, that have an important role in the service
delivery of EURES.
Our set targets and results include increased number of advertised positions, 500 in 2020 and 550 in 2021 resulting in higher number of confirmed placements, at least 180 in 2020 and 200 in 2021.
Higher percentage of confirmed placements of the total number of advertised positions as a result of customised service delivery to employers and systematic follow up of vacancies, the target is 36%.

Summary of the action
L' EURES-t Grande Région avait décidé sur 2018-2020 de réaliser un saut quantitatif et qualitatif et de structurer à cette fin ses actions autour de 4 axes stratégiques :
1. Un diagnostic commun partagé du marché de l’emploi transfrontalier permettant d’identifier collectivement, des secteurs d’activités sur lesquels prioriser ses actions.
2. Une meilleure adéquation entre offre et demande d’emploi en s’appuyant notamment sur la formation transfrontalière, et en poursuivant son ouverture sur le monde de l’entreprise.
3. La promotion, l’information et le conseil sur la mobilité professionnelle transfrontalière.
4. L’articulation du programme EURES-t avec les autres programmes européens ainsi qu’avec les acteurs de la formation et du marché de l’emploi transfrontaliers, permettant ainsi d’assurer une
meilleure visibilité et lisibilité des offres de services.

Fort de son expertise quant à la réalisation du diagnostic commun (à actualiser en 2020) et de son expérience en termes d'ingénierie de formation professionnelle transfrontalière, le partenariat souhaite
investir dans la valorisation des activités et compléter à cette fin sa stratégie par un important volet de communication transverse permettant ainsi, en 2020 et 2021, de poursuivre le saut qualitatif et
quantitatif précédemment engagé et assurer la pérennité de l’action d’intermédiation en contexte transfrontalier et d’intégration des indispensables meures d’adaptation de la main d’œuvre qui y sont
attachées.

Le partenariat articule en conséquence services nouveaux, actions ciblées et activités déjà intégrées, avec une communication multidimensionnelle. Cette dernière visera à valoriser les activités menées,
le partenariat et la marque « EURES », et la plus-value de l’Union européenne pour les publics cibles. In fine, stratégie arrêtée, actions menées et communication permettront de parvenir à une
intermédiation plus importante en nombre et de meilleure qualité.

The grant application includes activities under the following categories: 1,4,6,7,8. The overall aim for all activities is to promote geographical and occupational labour mobility in the EEA countries on a
voluntary and fair basis, as well as organise the work of EURES in own country in line with the requirements, standards and procedures established in the EURES legal framework. Thus, the European
added value is distinct in all the activities.

The activities aim to be concrete, action oriented and carry a clear added value in terms of making a difference where rolled out. This entails that the activities are adjusted according to needs in the
labour markets. Thus, the service becomes relevant and innovative. Moreover, the activities will aim to pay attention to vulnerable groups, promote equality between men and women, combat any kind of
discrimination and promote a high-level of quality and sustainable employment. Focus will be to ensure a transparent labour market with exchange of job vacancies, CVs (jobseeker profile's) in
accordance with the uniform system for the EURES portal and any related information, as well as provide free support services for the recruitment and placement of workers in employment. Activities are
linked to the defined indicators described in the EURES Performance Measurement System. Thanks to these, concrete results of implementing the activities will be visible.

Summary of the action
Le Rhin Supérieur présente actuellement des taux de chômage très variables de part et d'autre de la frontière. Les données actuelles illustrent bien la complémentarité des marchés du travail : le Bade-
Wurtemberg et le Nord-Ouest de la Suisse, deux régions économiquement prospères ont des besoins de main d’œuvre très importants dans le secteur de la production et de la fabrication pour le Bade-
Wurtemberg et dans les secteurs des sciences de la vie (Life Sciences), de la santé et de l’artisanat pour le Nord-ouest de la Suisse. La partie alsacienne de la Région Grand-Est détient, quant à elle,
une main d'œuvre jeune et qualifiée. Le marché du travail transfrontalier revêt donc un caractère essentiel permettant d'encourager l'adéquation entre les demandeurs d'emploi et les postes vacants de
part et d'autre de la frontière. À l’avenir, avec la reprise économique actuelle en France, cette complémentarité entre les marchés de l’emploi sera moins évidente, d’autant plus que les besoins de main
d’œuvre seront en partie dans les mêmes secteurs d’activité (hôtellerie/restauration, santé avec notamment les aides à domicile.). Une nouvelle stratégie sera déployée pour 2020-21 afin d’encourager la
mise en place d’actions transfrontalières communes (formations transfrontalières, reconnaissances des diplômes etc.). Afin d'utiliser les forces en présence et de créer une offre de services complète sur
tout le territoire, avec les mêmes standards de qualité, les services du plan d'activités 2020-21 d'EURES-T Rhin Supérieur agissent en complémentarité avec ceux des agences pour l’emploi,
conformément aux axes du catalogue de services EURES suivants : pré-recrutement (section A), recrutement/mise en adéquation/placement (sections A et B), informations et conseils (sections A et B)
et coopération transfrontalière (section E).
L'offre de services d’EURES-T Rhin Supérieur est déclinée selon les 6 catégories d’activités EaSI afin de répondre aux besoins du territoire transfrontalier.

Summary of the action
The ETUC secretariat is coordinating the participation of the trade union organisations in the EURES network. It is mostly through the Interregional Trade Union Councils (IRTUCs), at regional/
interregional levels, who are participating in the EURES Cross Border Partnerships.

The IRTUCs gather in border regions regional trade union organisations which are part of ETUC member organisations. The main objective of the IRTUCs is to ensure fair and chosen mobility of EU
citizens and workers and to defend the rights of frontier workers and their families.

IRTUCs are partners of the EURES Cross Border Partnerships. Around 60 EURES trade union advisers (who have followed the EURES basic training) are giving advice and councils to cross border and
frontier workers. This is the specific role of trade unions in the EURES Network. Trade unions do not deal with placements and recruitments. Moreover in some Member States this is illegal.

This project will deliver four European events involving participants from all over the EU (two seminars of EURES trade union advisers, a seminar on youth mobility and a seminar on EURES Cross
Border Partnerships) all of which will help strengthening the involvement not only of trade unions but also of employers and public employment services.
