Bibliogr.
New legislation on psychological harassment at the workplace is on the agenda in a number of EU countries. Sweden led the way with its 1993 regulations. France and Belgium have now just passed laws to stop workplace bullying. Draft legislation is in the works in countries like Spain, the United Kingdom, Portugal and Italy. In September 2001, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the problem, calling both for national measures to combat psychological harassment and Community initiatives either through a clarification or extension of the scope of the 1989 Framework Directive or through the adoption of a specific directive.
