The Commission’s Social Agenda should correct the tunnel vision of the ECJ
Speaking today at the Asean-EU Summit, the General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), John Monks said: “In Europe, we are facing ‘tunnel vision’ interpretations of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in four recent legal cases that elevate free market provision above fundamental rights. Tomorrow’s Social Agenda to be published by the Commission must start to put right the Court’s interpretations, introduce stronger European Works Councils and give fresh heart to those of us who want a strong social dimension integrated into all trade, political and economic relationships”.
