Koordinierung als Kompetenzkategorie

The coordination of economic, employment and social policy in the EU is one of the areas where the EU does not act through binding Community law, but uses a non-binding multilateral surveillance procedure. Beate Braams examines this policy instrument under a legal perspective and calls for an explicit inclusion of a category of competence in the Treaty of Lisbon in order to increase the transparency and legitimacy of the coordination instrument.
