One of the main topics of discussion in the context of ongoing reassessment of the role of Britain in the European Union became the Union legislature has called for the purpose of right-wing social make politicians uncomfortable, and "social policy. "British Conservative government has used the current opposition to legislation such tactics to build a unified party line in Europe. It is widely known - even if that impact is often misunderstood - that the United Kingdom joined the social policy Protocol of the Treaty on European Union, and the Government has published a statement that the company wanted social legislation, especially in areas work, imposes high costs on business and have a negative impact on employment levels.
The effect of all this has changed the European spotlight on the nature and purpose of social policy in the single market. As is known, the European Commission has, from the mid-1980s and others, suggests that European markets post-1992 must be single, as a feature that includes the social dimension. This led to the European Charter of Basic Social Rights of Workers, concluded the Council of Europe in Strasbourg in December 1989, and more recently the Protocol Agreement with the European Union, concluded in Maastricht in 1992.
The implicit assumption in most of the range of EU social policy is a possibility that it is all about workers' rights, and in the context of this approach is the most collectivist. In other words, it is often assumed that the European social policy in essence the intention to maintain or re-impose trade-oriented industrial relations built on a structure of Keynesian macro-economic model. Documentation of the European Union does not completely contradict this view. For example, the Inter-departmental Working Party, established by the European Commission to advise the social dimension of the Single Market in 1988 argued that one major task is to provide - "in thinking with concrete conditions of repair of the European industrial relations area "merge", European collective agreement relationship "and strengthening" social dialogue emphasis "on I-owes much to the provisions of the EEC Treaty in its original form, contained in art .. 117 social policy is concerned with "the need to promote improved working conditions and improved living standards for workers." On the other hand, has long been clear that social policy is not just about regulation and training of industrial relations. Commission Working Party mentioned above, although the degree of emphasis given to industrial relations, shows a strong awareness of other relevant factors that need to be addressed, most of which dealt with the composition and labor market developments . Working Party identified the "fundamental structural problems, foremost of which is an extremely high level of unemployment." In fact, the increasing amount of attention has recently focused on the effects of demographic changes and changes in patterns of living labor market, seen in context "the whole problem of how to reconcile economic and social goals in the face of rising unemployment and growing concerns about the ability of Europe to remain competitive in the 21st century. "
What, then, is a debate about social policy in the EU is really about? It could be a debate about the place in economic and commercial social justice, equitable distribution of resources, and rights at work, or it may be about economic efficiency, and to what extent it can be followed up by manipulating social conditions, or it may be about searching for "field level of play" in the Single Market, so the market distortions caused by what has become known as "social dumping" can be avoided, or it may be about the new size of the community's focus on social affairs as an area requiring attention to him his own. The problem until now is that it is unclear which, if any, of this aspect remains at the heart of Union social policy. Green Paper last side-stepped the issue by explaining the significance of social policy as only "policies in the social field," which is hardly helpful. However, if that will affect social policy, it must be the concept of a recognizable influence area is clear, conversely, the lack of clarity of meaning is almost certainly prevent the development of effective policies.
It is the purpose of this article is to describe in more detail in the areas of social policy can be thought to cover, to examine the problems encountered in this region, and to suggest good policy agenda legislation reflects the recognition of problems and in line with existing policy documents and instruments the legal community.
