1 N. Countouris and S. Engblom Civilising the European Posted Workers Directive – Social Rights as a compass for European Integration

2 “The Court's cases have exposed the fault lines that run between the single market and the social dimension at national level in two ways. ” “The ECJ rulings pre-date the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, which explicitly sets out the social market economy as an objective for the Union and makes the European Charter of Fundamental Rights legally binding at Treaty level. These elements should shape a new legal context, in which the issues and the concerns raised by the trade unions should hopefully find an adequate response. If this is not the case, however, the scope for further policy action should be explored” Mario Monti (2010)
