A new source for (EU) labour law?

Mélanie Schmitt
Marco Rocca

Résumé

Looking at the instruments of the EU economic governance (Memoranda of Understanding; Country Specific Recommendations) from the perspective of national labour law systems reveals wide differences in their impact. If it is possible to draw a direct link between the demands of a Memorandum and national labour law reforms, the picture is less clear for Country Specific Recommendations. Notably, different Member States show a different degree of ability to ‘resist’ these Recommendations, which appears to be based more on their coherence (or lack thereof) with national political preferences than on the specific situation of the given Member State when it comes to the corrective mechanisms of the EU economic governance. From the perspective of labour law, these instruments still show little in the way of a more ‘social’ approach. Taken together, these conclusions suggest that the instruments of the EU economic governance could hardly provide a productive contribution to the development and enforcement of EU labour law, risking, on the contrary, leading to its fragmentation due to their uneven impact across Member States.
