Summary/Abstract: In the Treaty of Rome, social and employment policy was practically neglected. In fact, most of the provisions in this field related to the creation of freedom of movement for workers and freedom of establishment for the purpose of the common market. In contrast, the Treaty of Amsterdam attached importance to social policy in the fight against all types of discrimination. According to the aims of Lisbon Strategy, the European Union provides major impetus for the convergence of Community and national policies through the open coordination method.
