Summary/Abstract: Although the institution of posting workers to provide services in another Mem-ber State does not constitute a significant share in the internal market of the European Union, it has become a thorny issue among its Member States in recent years. For some of them, it meant the possibility of rendering competitive services on the markets of other countries, whereas others perceived it as a threat to gaining access to the labour market. This is especially visible in the recent amendment to the rules on the posting of workers laid out in Directive 2018/957. The split between Member States resulted in action brought to the Court of Justice of the European Union by Poland, representing one of the sides to the abovementioned division. The doubts expressed in the complaint mainly concerned the application of the concept of full remuneration rather than minimum rate of pay and the introduction of the new category of long-term posting.
