29/2019Βάσει της νέας μελέτης που ανατέθηκε από την Ευρωπαϊκή Οικονομική και Κοινωνική Επιτροπή, οι διασυνοριακές υπηρεσίες συμβάλλουν στη δημιουργία νέων θέσεων εργασίας και την τόνωση της οικονομικής ανάπτυξης, ενώ παράλληλα επιφέρουν θετικά αποτελέσματα για όλες τις χώρες της ΕΕ και για τα διάφορα είδη απασχόλησης, τόσο υψηλής έντασης εργασίας όσο και γνώσεων.
