The Council today published the assessments of the offers to host the seat of the future European Labour Authority (ELA). The assessments were carried out by the European Commission at the request of member states. The offers were received by the deadline of 6 May 2019, in line with the selection procedure agreed by the representatives of member states.

Four EU countries sent bids to host the ELA in the following cities:

• - 

  Sofia (Bulgaria)
• - 

  Nicosia (Cyprus)
• - 

  Riga (Latvia)
• - 

  Bratislava (Slovakia)

Representatives of member states will hold a political discussion on 5 June on the basis of the Commission's assessment. The decision on the seat of the ELA will be taken after a vote in the margins of the EPSCO Council on 13 June in Luxembourg. The decision, reflecting the outcome of the vote, will then be confirmed by common agreement of the member states' representatives.
