The CJEU upholds (most of) the Minimum Wage Directive
In November 2025 the CJEU delivered the much-anticipated case on the validity of the Adequate Minimum Wage Directive 2022/2041. In it, the CJEU confirmed the validity of most of the Directive, declaring that only some sections had been adopted outside EU competence. These had to be removed from the Directive. This article studies the argumentation of both the Advocate General and the CJEU in the case and it offers a reflection of what this case e…
Including the Self-Employed
Social security is a human right, which should mean that everyone at risk of losing their income is protected. Yet, many systems still exclude the self-employed. This article explores how the concepts of labour neutrality and labour specificity can give access to the self-employed in two contingencies (invalidity and unemployment). First, we explore labour neutrality and specificity from a theoretical perspective. Then, we compare the Dutch and S…
Reaching the European 2030 Poverty Target
Reaching the three targets of the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR) Action Plan is the litmus test for effective EPSR implementation. While the EPSR puts forward a prima facie balance between employment, equal opportunities and social protection, two important questions arise: a) whether and to what extent the resources available at EU level are sufficiently balanced across the different dimensions of the EPSR; and b) which implications thi…
Taking stock of individual power resources in European Union law
The highly fragmented, layered and complex regulatory policy framework of the European Union hides a wealth of resources for social Europe. This article aims at exploring the social opportunities offered in this intricate legal framework on the basis of the resource-based understanding identified in the first contribution of this Special Issue by Corti, Ferrera and Keune. Accordingly, it pinpoints and discusses several guaranteed subjective power…
Discussing strategies for social Europe
Anti-poverty strategies have been on the EU agenda for decades. In 2010, perhaps most saliently, Member States pledged to lift 20 million people out of poverty as part of the ten-year Europe 2020 Strategy. By the end of 2019, it became clear that this headline target was nowhere close to being achieved. In view of the disappointing results of previous EU strategies in combating poverty, a seminar was held on 5 December 2019 at the University of A…
Securing decent incomes at a crossroads
In spite of having been an alleged priority for the EU and the Member States over the last ten years, the number of people in situations of poverty and social exclusion remains unacceptably high. As the Covid-19 crisis unfolds, the EU is left at a crossroads that will likely be determinant for its future. This contribution explores the possibility of taking the solidarity route at this crossroads by activating the social competences in the form o…
Social mainstreaming through the European pillar of social rights
Implementing fiscal consolidation measures without first considering social stabilisers has led to turn what originally was an economic recession into a social crisis too. The economic and social divergences in Europe have increased to a point where the future of the social dimension of the EU has been put into question. There is however, a provision in the Treaties that obliges the EU to take into account social issues in all its policies and ac…
