7 Social Policy- Who s Down with OMC? Social Policy Still State Competency Open Method of Coordination! Sort of Developed in the process to EMS- Euro transition, except that version had stiff penalties.! Now areas of Joint Competency or Support and Coordinate policy! OMC! Council of European Union determines policy goals! Social Policy Areas! Social Exclusion! Social Freedoms! Education! Health Care! Social Protection! Ministers determine benchmarks! Commission monitors progress towards goals! Exchange of best practices.
8 OMC- Pluri-lateral Governance Home Affairs- Still State Competency with Subsidiarity Open Method of Coordination Commission and National Agencies Participate in establishing goals and practices In effect, much of the ground work is directed to regional, national or partners. Fundamental Rights Agency, Is an example of an Agency that was effectively created to facilitate an OMC process. As you ll see protection of Fundamental Rights (social rights) is an intergovernmental affair. Countries develop National Action Plans but little or no consequences of missed targets. In fact looking at the results following challenges the usefulness of the network model when discriminatory populism works to elect politicians.

16 FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AGENCY
17 international human rights instruments and the ability of people to realise these rights. Feedback from governance structures at various levels indicates that fragmented governance can work as a barrier to the effective implementation of fundamental rights. Fundamental rights are first and foremost exercised at the local level: local and regional authorities play a key role as service providers and duty bearers. Therefore, they must be integrated into national human rights policy planning, implementation and monitoring. Lack of multi-level coordination and cooperation among government layers can impact heavily on people s ability to access their fundamental rights. FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AGENCY NETWORK HYBRID A joined-up governance approach to fundamental rights implementation
18 FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AGENCY AGENCY AND NETWORK HYBRID Resources of the FRA Revenue 20 million (2012) Staff; 70! Managing Network of 27 country-based partners for Human Rights (Raxen) Network of Legal Researchers (FRALEX) Working with 27 representatives in the Committee of the Regions 27 national governments network of 15 city governments.
19 FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AGENCY NETWORK HYBRID Sources of Power Influence Agenda Setting Issue Identification standards and measurement Naming and shaming Managing networks that link activists, analysts and policy-makers Brings community attention to local or national policies and conditions.! Controversy Lithuania; Hungary asked by Euro-Parliament to find legality of anti-homosexual Child-protection laws in Lithuania Resisted by national actors, especially politicians. Some element of organizational competition between EU, European Council and OSCE.
20 Charter of Fundamental Human Rights Successor to the European Charter of Fundamental Rights, and Social Charter of European Union. Integrated into Treaties of European Union with Lisbon. Chapter 1: Dignity e.g. the right not to be tortured or held in slave-like conditions (Poland 2001) Chapter 2: Freedoms e.g. freedom of thought, conscience and religion, freedom of expression and information, freedom of assembly and association Chapter 3: Equality e.g. the right not to be discriminated against, social exclusion. Chapter 4: Solidarity e.g. the right to collectively negotiate with employers Chapter 5: Citizens' Rights e.g. the right to good administration and the right to vote Chapter 6: Justice e.g. the right to a fair trial
21 Charter of Fundamental Human Rights Scope The charter applies to the European institutions, subject to the principle of subsidiarity, and may under no circumstances extend the powers and tasks conferred on them by the Treaties. The charter also applies to EU countries when they implement EU law. If any of the rights correspond to rights guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights, the meaning and scope of those rights is to be the same as defined by the convention, though EU law may provide for more extensive protection. Any of the rights derived from the common constitutional traditions of EU countries must be interpreted in accordance to those traditions.
22 Charter of Fundamental Human Rights Social policy forms part of the shared competences between the EU and Member States. However, social policies are implemented more effectively at Member State level than at European level. In this way, and in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the role of the EU in this area is limited to supporting and complementing the activities of Member States.! However, for certain measures, unanimous Council voting with consultation of the European Parliament is maintained and the Treaty of Lisbon includes the specific bridging clause which had been introduced by the Treaty of Nice (Article 153 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU). This bridging clause authorises the Council to decide unanimously to apply the ordinary legislative procedure to the following areas: protection of workers where their employment contract is terminated; representation and collective defence of workers and employers; conditions of employment for third-country nationals legally residing in Union territory! qualified majority voting is extended to measures related to social benefits for migrant workers (Article 48 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU);
