42As regards, second, the obligations under Articles 5 and 6 of the Royal Decree of 29 March 2002 imposed on the employers of workers posted to Belgium, first of all, to keep copies of the equivalent documents available to the Belgian authorities, either at the workplace in Belgium, or at the Belgian address of the employer’s agent or servant, then, to send, at the end of the posting, those copies and an inventory of the equivalent documents to the Belgian authorities and, lastly, to keep available to those authorities, after a period of six months, copies of those equivalent documents at one of the designated locations for a period of five years, it cannot be ruled out at the outset that those obligations give rise to additional expenses and administrative and economic burdens for undertakings established in another Member State, with the result that such undertakings may not be on an equal footing, from the standpoint of competition, with undertakings employing persons normally working in Belgium.
