Articles 1(1) and 3(1 b)-e)) of Directive 2008/104/EC state that temporary agency workers work temporarily under the supervision and direction of the user undertaking. Section 1(1) 2 AÜG, introduced in order to transpose Articles 1(1) and 3(1 b)-e)) of the Directive, states that temporary agency workers are temporarily assigned to user undertakings (‘Die Überlassung von Arbeitnehmern an Entleiher erfolgt vorübergehend'). As there exists no definition of the notion ‘temporarily', this article deals with the European and German interpretation of this notion."
