La Sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea de 24 de octubre de 2024, en el asunto C-441/23, pone de relieve que nuestra normativa no resulta conforme con la Directiva sobre empresas de trabajo temporal en tanto la exigencia española de autorización administrativa no se contempla en la normativa europea y porque limitar el concepto a dichas empresas impediría una interpretación uniforme de la directiva, limitando su efecto útil. La sentencia obliga al ordenamiento español a plantearse una reforma de la legislación sobre las empresas que ponen a disposición personas trabajadoras de modo temporal y, mientras tanto, considerar que toda empresa contratista que contrate con otra principal debe considerarse una empresa de trabajo temporal solo, y únicamente, cuando pierda el control de su poder de dirección a favor de la principal incurriendo en lo que venimos considerando cesión ilegal.
The ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union October 24, 2024, in the case C-441/23, highlights that the Spanish legal framework is not in compliance with the Directive on Temporary Work Agencies (TWA Directive), as the requirement for administrative authorization under Spanish law is not provided for in EU legislation. Furthermore, restricting the concept of TWA solely to authorized entities would hinder a uniform interpretation of the Directive and would undermine the effectiveness of that directive by inordinately and unjustifiably restricting its scope. This judgement obliges the Spanish legal system to consider a reform of the legislation on companies that provide temporary workers. In the meantime, any contracting company that engages in a relationship with a principal company should be considered a TWA only, and exclusively, when it relinquishes control over its managerial authority in favour of the principal company, thus falling within what is currently classified as unlawful worker transfer.
