(6a) Undeclared work does not conform to a pattern and is complex. It can take a number of forms and affect different sectors. The scope of the Platform should extend to all existing forms of undeclared work without distinction. The main task is to extricate Europe from the black economy in order to create better-quality jobs and boost economic recovery and to achieve the employment objective set out in the EU 2020 strategy.

(7) Undeclared work has serious budgetary implications through decreased tax and social security revenues. It has negative impacts on employment, productivity, compliance with working conditions’ standards, skills development and life-long learning. It undermines the financial sustainability of social protection systems, deprives workers of adequate social benefits and results in lower pension rights and less access to healthcare. It also results in unfair competition between businesses. SMEs, which make up 99% of European companies, are the first to be affected by this problem and should have a special focus in the activities of the Platform.
