| description | In this contribution, the author reflects on the gap between EU social policy Regulations and Directives related
to cross-border labour mobility and the problems that legal and social practitioners encounter in the application
of this regulatory frame. He assesses some basic fields of social policy and workers’ rights applicable in the
area of labour mobility (free movement, posting of workers, coordination of social security) to demonstrate the
disparity between the 'spirit of the law’ and the practical application of the legislation. This gap is often
stemming from contradictions that are the result of the subordination of social rights to the economic freedoms. |
