A new bill drafted by the Federal Employment Ministry intends to tackle social fraud in the construction industry. Once the bill is passed, construction companies that work with fraudulent and dishonest subcontractors will be held responsible for any social fraud committed from day one. The bill is based on an EU directive to tackle social fraud and unfair competition in the construction industry.
