Summary
From the beginning of European integration, the principles of equality and non-discrimination have played a central role in shaping European labour markets. On the one hand, they guarantee nationals of one Member State equal access to employment and the right to provide services in other Member States. On the other hand, they protect nationals in the host Member State from the unfavourable consequences that could result from the existence of lower pay or employment standards for foreign workers as compared to those enjoyed by domestic workers. These principles of equal pay for equal work at the same workplace are far-reaching and impact both labour law and social security law.1
