European Commission

The Commission has published the IMI Annual Report for 2011, containing facts and figures about IMI usage, IT developments, legal issues as well as promotion and training activities in 2011.

At the same time, the Commission has also published a report on the governance of the Single Market. This governance check-up report presents an integrated view of the results achieved in 2011 at all stages of the Single Market governance cycle. The report draws on results of several governance tools: Internal Market Scoreboard, Your Europe, Your Europe Advice, Points of Single Contact, IMI and SOLVIT.

Italy has registered 99 additional authorities in IMI for the new legislative area of posting of workers. The authorities are labour offices who operate at the level of the Italian provinces (Direzioni Provinciali del Lavoro). Representatives of the authorities were trained in how to use IMI during a two day event organised in Rome on 20 and 21 September 2011, in the framework of the current pilot project for IMI and the Posting of Workers Directive.
