On the one hand, EU law ensures self-employed persons freedom to provide services and freedom of establishment by removing barriers and protecting against discrimination. On the other hand, EU law aims to combat bogus self-employment and to provide social protection for the self-employed, recognizing the wide spectrum of their labour market situation. The case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, discussed in this article, plays an important role in extending the personal scope of the concept of ‘worker’ under various social policy directives to persons who perform work on a basis other than an employment relationship, working under similar conditions.  ASJC: 3308, JEL: K31 VL - Volume 29 (2022) IS - Tom 29 Zeszyt 3 PY - 2022 SN - 1429-9585 C1 - 2544-4654 SP - 279 EP - 290 DO - 10.4467/25444654SPP.22.023.16568 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/szppips/artykul/praca-na-wlasny-rachunek-w-ramach-unii-europejskiej-w-swietle-prawa-i-orzecznictwa KW - samozatrudnienie KW - pozorne samozatrudnienie KW - praca na własny rachunek KW - pojęcie pracownika w Unii Europejskiej KW - swoboda świadczenia usług; self-employment KW - false self-employment KW - concept of ‘worker’ in European Union law KW - free movement of services
