One of the special features of the Nordic countries is that the determination of wages and working conditions is largely left up to the negotiations between the social partners. The purpose of this report is to illuminate a number of the challenges faced by the labour-law systems of the Nordic countries in the light of an increasingly well-developed European law system. The first part of the report was prepared by Dr. Jur. Jens Kristiansen, the editor-in-chief, and focuses on a number of the general challenges facing the labour-law systems of the Nordic countries in the form of European rules and court decisions. The second part of the report was prepared by various representatives of employer and employee organisations in the Nordic countries and illustrates some of the challenges faced by the social partners in their interaction with the European court system and the way in which these challenges have been addressed in the individual countries.

On the occasion of its tenth anniversary, the EFTA Court held a conference at which speakers were asked to reflect on the case law of the Court and its role in the European Economic Area (EEA). In the course of its work, the Court has acted as a driving force of integration under the EEA Agreement, by establishing general principles such as state liability and giving landmark judgments in several areas of European law. The essays in this volume, by leading experts and high-ranking representatives of national and European courts, cover areas such as the relationship between the principle of free movement and national or collective preferences on the EU/EEA and WTO levels, the relationship between the European courts and the Member States in European integration, homogeneity as a general principle of European integration, and the importance of judicial dialogue. In this regard, the sentence from President Skouris of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, who called the dialogue between the EFTA Court and the EC Court 'a shining example of judicial cooperation', could also serve as a motto for the present book.
Et af de særlige træk ved de nordiske lande er, at fastlæggelsen af løn- og arbejdsvilkår i vidt omfang er overladt til forhandlinger mellem arbejdsmarkedets parter. Formålet med denne rapport er at belyse en række af de udfordringer, som de arbejdsretlige systemer i de nordiske lande står over for i mødet med et stadig mere veludviklet europæisk retssystem. Den første del af rapporten er udarbejdet af rapportens redaktør professor, dr. jur. Jens Kristiansen fra Københavns Universitet og fokuserer på en række af de generelle udfordringer, som de europæiske regler og retsafgørelser stiller de arbejdsretlige systemer i de nordiske lande over for. Rapportens anden del er udarbejdet af forskellige repræsentanter for arbejdsgiver- og lønmodtagerforeninger i de nordiske lande og belyser nogle af de udfordringer, som arbejdsmarkedets parter oplever i mødet med det europæiske retssystem.
