Legal Experts Network - NETLEX

The EC has produced and is likely to continue to produce European labour law, which is of direct interest of workers and their representatives, including trade unions. Information and advice on the elaboration, implementation and interpretation of EC labour law is thus of crucial importance for the ETUC and its member organizations.

The Application of EU Labour Law Directives to Certain Sectors and/or Occupations

Often the ETUC and its European Industry Federations (EIF's) are confronted with the need to review the application of the different international and European (labour) law instruments to the different sectors of economy or specific occupations such as managerial staff or artists for instance.

Trade Union Legal Experts Network for South East Europe

The Legal Experts Network operates as an extension in the Balkan region of the existing ETUC network of Trade union legal experts - NETLEX, combining expertise from both EU member-states and CEE accession countries. SEE experts would also profit from the established database that has accumulated information for more than five years of operation of NETLEX, including answers and legal advice on particular questions of labour law development in the CEE transition countries.

Several years ago, the ETUI-REHS established this network in order to be assisted in legal research in the area of fundamental social rights, including transnational trade union rights.
