Abstract

The present paper argues that the European integration process has eroded the competence of member states in the social policy field. This process is discerned both in primary and secondary legislation, as well as in growing impact of soft policy instruments, such as the open method of coordination (OMC). However, this influence will not result in the formation of a European welfare state, but will be based on strengthened action within a supranational organization.
