In a debate with the European Commission's Labour Law Unit and other countries' employment groups, the organisation examined how the directive can best be rolled out across the UK.
The REC claimed one positive development of the session was the commission confirming that situations where the employee is not under the supervision of the end user will not come under the regulation's equal treatment measures.
It claimed that this shows limited company contractors and self-employed workers have been excluded from the directive's final interpretation.
Tom Hadley, the REC's director of external relations, commented: 'It is crucial for the UK industry to maintain a strong presence in Brussels in order to promote the need for interpretations that take account of the different ways that the temporary work operates across the EU.'
Earlier this year, the REC consulted with business minister Pat McFadden about the issues which need to be clarified because the Agency Workers Regulations come into effect.
