The paper firstly aims to analyse the historic evolution of European social policy, which has been both significant and incoherent at the same time. Thanks to this evolution, the European Union (EU) was able to build up its own labour and social law system, based on the huge increase in legal competences within the treaties and many directives, capable of partially harmonising the respective legal systems of the Member States (MS). Nevertheless, a high level of incoherence has always been a characteristic of European labour and social law, for different reasons (shared competences, exclusion from EU competences of collective labour law, a high degree of flexibility, etc.), that has made the harmonisation process very weak. |
