摘要：
A new social dimension of the EU has been established in the last decade. This paper discusses the effect of an adoption of this EU social law on future labor market performance in the CEECs. For this purpose, we draw an analogy between the policies vis-a-vis the CEECs and those regarding East Germany and Southern Italy. We conclude that the adoption of inefficient EU social and labor policy regulations entails risks for CEEC employment similar to those materialized in the latter regions. This view is substantiated by a public choice analysis of why the old EU members will want to impose the Social Charter even though it will harm the new members. © 2002 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
