SOCIAL PROTOCOL

Thanks to the social protocol annexed to the Treaty, Community powers are broadened in the social domain. The United Kingdom is not a signatory of this protocol. Its objectives are:

• promotion of employment;
• improvement of living and working conditions;
• adequate social protection;
• social dialogue;
• the development of human resources to ensure a high and sustainable level of employment;
• the integration of persons excluded from the labour market.

Though everyone else appears to have forgotten, not least the troika wreaking havoc in periphery.
