  1. Which Labour law in a Europe in crisis : a need for new securities SylvaineLaulom

  2. How the crisis has affected social legislation in Europe? • Publication of the research : Queldroit social dansune Europe en crise?, (coordination M.-C. EscandeVarniol, S. Laulom, E. Mazuyer) Larcier June 2012

  3. The research • 11 countries analysed : Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom, Sweden • What was the situation before the crisis? • Which measures were adopted (in both labour law and social protection law)? • Has the crisis acted as a catalyst for in-depth reforms? • What relationships between flexicurity and the measures adopted

  4. Some difficulties • Very different situations among the countries • Constant reforms

  5. Two stages in the crisis • First stage (2008-2009) : managing the crisis in employment • Second stage : the public debt crisis

  6. First stage of the crisis

  7. Characteristic of these measures • Temporary measures • They did not required large-scale reforms • A rethinking of social law? • These measures had the initial effect of giving renewed credibility to certain social policy mechanisms and legal provisions which had previously been considered as mere hindrances to the economy.

  8. The second stage : 2010 - THE PUBLIC DEBT CRISIS

  9. Second stage of the crisis

  10. Role of social partners • In some countries (Sweden, Germany, Austria), the crisis seems to have strengthened the role and function of the social partners • In other countries : temporary or long-term marginalisation of the social partners has been one element of the anti-crisis policies • Decentralisation of collective bargaining and introduction of new possibilities for companies to opt out in peius

  11. And what about flexicurity? • More flexibilities • More insecurities
