CJEU: limits on EU employment law power re wages and freedom of association only rule out 'direct interference' in those issues - so EU framework minimum wage Directive is partly invalid where it sets criteria for statutory minimum wage, and prevents minimum wage dropping - but is otherwise valid 1

It is a huge relief that the European Court of Justice has rejected the demand by Denmark and Sweden to annul the Adequate Minimum Wage Directive.

The directive stands, but Denmark gets partial victory in landmark case on minimum wage at European Court of Justice. Changes to some articles. Denmark is ordered to pay 2/3 of the costs. #minimumwage

Beyond its immediate impact on wage setting, if it had ruled differently the Court wd have dealt a harsh blow to confidence in the EU as a vehicle for social progress and cohesion and not just for market opening
(positive vs negative integration).

2/ In particular the provisions in the Directive about encouraging collective bargaining are *all* valid - as they do not require Member States to compel workers to join trade unions

overall a win for 'social Europe' - although the criteria for setting the statutory minimum wage were significant

🔻The Court of Justice of the EU has upheld the Directive on MinimumWages but annulled parts of Article 5.

The ECJ found that certain provisions on wage adequacy criteria and indexation mechanisms interfered directly with pay, exceeding the EU’s powers under the Treaties!
