There has been a great deal of speculation over what is meant or intended by the "social dimension" of 1992, when the European Community becomes a market in which people, capital, goods and services can move freely across the national boundries of the 12 member states. Marie Maes explains what has happened already in terms of a People's Europe, to what measures the Member States are committed by 1992 and beyond, and what further developments and possiblities are likely. Detailed references are provided. This book will be useful to those in companies or other organizations responsible for human resources, and for trade union officials and representatives of trade and employee associations.
