EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL RIGHTS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE RIGHTS OF WORKERS FROM THE THIRD COUNTRIES

Summary/Abstract: The author presents the following aspects of the European Union social policy: freedom of movement of labor force, employment and remuneration, equal treatment for women and men, vocational training, the improvement of living and working conditions, health protection and safety at work, social protection, freedom of association and collective bargaining, and information, consultation and participation of workers. It is pointed to the mechanisms EU applies in coordination and possible harmonization of some aspects of the social policy at the national or Union level. A separate part of the article is devoted to the necessary changes Central and Eastern European countries, including Yugoslavia, should make in the sphere of social policy in the preparation for their possible integration into EU. The author concludes that in some domains of social policy our country is formally closed to EU standards. Because of present conditions in our country, the difference between formal declarations and reality is, however, so deep in many aspects. If FRY strives to become an associate member or full member of EU in the near future it is necessary to make changes and adjustments to the requirements and standards of EU in the sphere of social policy as a whole.
