(8) In view of the long duration of certain posting assignmecase of posting assignments lasting for periods longer than 24 months, it is necessary to provide that, in case of posting lasting for periods higher than 24 months, the host Member State is deemed to be the country in whichthe host Member State becomes the country in which the work is carried out, with the possibility to extend this period based on a prior request submitted to the competent authority in the Member State whose legislation the person concerned wishes to apply to him/her, and based on an agreement between the twork is carried out Member States (host and sending). In accordance with the principle of Rome I Regulation, the law of the host Member Sates therefore applies to the employment contract of such posted workers if no other choice of law was made by the parties. In case a different choice was made, it cannot, however, have the result of depriving the employee of the protection afforded to him by provisions that cannot be derogated from by agreement under the law of the host Member State. This should apply from the start of the posting assignment whenever it is envisaged for more than 24 months and from the first day subsequent to the 24 months when it effectively exceeds this duration. This rule does not affect the right of undertakings posting workers to the territory of another Member State to invoke the freedom to provide services in circumstances also where the posting exceeds 24 months. The purpose is merely to create legal certainty in the application of the Rome I Regulation to a specific situation, without amending that Regulation in any way. The employee will in particular enjoy the protection and benefits pursuant to the Rome I Regulation.
