"La Convention européenne, présidée par Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, mène actuellement des débats et élabore des propositions en vue de réformer les institutions et le fonctionnement de l'UE, de la rendre plus «visible» pour les citoyens. Une Constitution devrait au bout du compte voir le jour. Des représentants des pays candidats d'Europe centrale et orientale y sont présents, sur un pied d'égalité avec ceux des Quinze. Danuta Hübner, ministre polonaise, et Adrian Severin, député roumain, répondent ici aux questions de la rédaction sur leur participation et leur apport à ces débats, tout nouveaux pour eux, leurs relations avec d'autres représentants, plus aguerris, leur vision de la future Europe, leur regard sur les déficits en matière sociale et de défense ou de communication. Que proposent-ils enfin pour que dans leur propre pays les citoyens se sentent plus concernés par la future nouvelle Europe élargie ?"

"This paper examines the meaning of 'autonomy' in European social dialogue, starting from the definition of social dialogue as adopted by the Commission and the social partners in various ways. In addition, the paper considers the applicability of collective autonomy parameters - as traditionally developed by labour law and industrial relations theory - especially after the amendments made by the Lisbon Treaty. Finally, the paper explores social dialogue as a governance model using the conceptual perspective of political science. The analysis leads to two main arguments: first, autonomy should be seen as a primarily procedural matter, related to the implementation of European collective bargaining outputs rather than to a real independence from institutions in managing negotiations. Second, autonomous agreements should be recognized as having relevance for the European legal system, even though defined as soft-law sources. In this regard, a comparison with the open method of coordination adds further meaning to autonomy in the context of European social dialogue."

"This eagerly awaited new edition has been significantly revised after extensive user feedback to meet current teaching requirements. The first major textbook to be published since the rejuvenation of the Lisbon Treaty, it retains the best elements of the first edition – the engaging, easily understandable writing style, extracts from a variety of sources showing the creation, interpretation and application of the law and comprehensive coverage. In addition it has separate chapters on EU law in national courts, governance and external relations reflecting the new directions in which the field is moving. The examination of the free movement of goods and competition law has been restructured. Chapter introductions clearly set out what will be covered in each section allowing students to approach complex material with confidence and detailed further reading sections encourage further study. Put simply, it is required reading for all serious students of EU law."
