4 Introduction During the European Year of Workers Mobility 2006, it became apparent that a large number of services and instruments were available to support workers geographical mobility. These were being provided by both public and private organisations and at the regional, national and European levels. It also became apparent that, if they cooperated with each other, they could more effectively help to remove some of the remaining obstacles, and in particular to provide more complete and accurate information to users. One of the functions of the EURES Network is to provide workers planning to move to another country with comprehensive advice on the various issues involved in a mobility project. It must therefore be able to provide first-rate information on the various mobility support instruments available and to refer users to other organisations responsible for providing these instruments. That is why the Guide to Mobility Resources was originally produced. This reference document, which is checked/updated every year, provides information on cross-border geographical mobility support instruments and also other useful information to be borne in mind, such as details of responsible organisations and relevant national and regional contacts, particularly in the areas of: - transparency and recognition of academic and professional qualifications; - support for entrepreneurs and micro- and small companies; - voluntary and seasonal work programmes aimed at young people; - cross-border study and work placement programmes; - mobility support services for specific target groups, such as researchers, trainees and trainers, or students; - language learning support/facilitating services; - social security; - taxes; - other geographical mobility support and incentives; - European information resource centres. This Guide to Mobility Resources is primarily intended to be used by EURES Advisers. Version - October /81
