Social Charter
Social Charter: formal name Community Charter of Fundamental Social Rights for Workers. It was adopted by the European Community members, apart from the United Kingdom, in December 1989. It was appended in a slightly altered form to the Treaty of Maastricht and became then known also as the Social Chapter. The Intergovernmental Conference held in June 1997 in Amsterdam agreed that the appendix should become a formal part of the Treaty. The Charter seeks to ensure that all citizens of the European Community should benefit from the European Single Market, and not business alone. The Charter contains provisions on freedom of movement, employment and remuneration, improvement of living and working conditions, social protection, freedom of association and collective bargaining, vocational training, equal treatment for men and women, information, consultation and participation of workers, health protection and safety at the workplace, protection of children and adolescents, elderly persons, and disabled persons. Some see the Charter as a possible model for a discussion of trade and labour standards in international organizations.
