State Secretary gives update on cross-border teleworking

The State Secretary for Finance has recently shared the latest developments regarding cross-border teleworking in the Benelux region. 

This update indicated that the General Secretariat of the Benelux Union shared a draft response with the Benelux member states this summer on cross-border teleworking, giving Benelux member states the opportunity to respond. The Netherlands took that opportunity. The input received will be processed by the General Secretariat and a new draft will then be submitted for approval. It is still uncertain whether this revised response will be ready for the plenary sessions of the Assembly on 28-29 November or by the end of the year. Discussions with Belgium on a home-working arrangement have been constructive but have not so far resulted in any specific agreements. Nor is there any real prospect of reaching such an agreement.
