On what basis and how far should the European Union (EU) intervene in domestic labour law? The immediacy with which Dr Syrpis presents this question forces us to confront our assumptions about the functions of the European integration process and the relationship between the economic and social rationales for intervention. In this tightly argued and lucidly written analysis, Syrpis explores conflicting conceptions of the EU's integrationist rationale and asks whether it requires the elimination of disparities between the labour laws of Member States. Not surprisingly, he answers this question in the negative, in part, I would suggest, because the integrationist rationale is permissive of such disparities beyond the purely economic domain and in part also because integration, in the area of labour law, encourages rather than suppresses diversity and allows for a variety of techniques for intervention beyond conventional harmonization that can, nevertheless, help to redress the imbalance between the economic and social dimensions of the process.
