The judgment of the European Court of Justice in the Essent case (C-91/13) that no work permit is required in the case of providing services within the EU which consists of posting of non EU workers, is followed by the Dutch Secretary of State of Social Affairs. According the Secretary of State some conditions must still be met: the service should be temporary, the service provider must have his main activities in the sending EU Member State, and the non-EU nationals should work and live legally in the sending Member State. The Dutch Labour Office should be notified prior to the start of the activities. Non compliance may result in a penalty.
