Social law – Exercise 3
Page: 98
Chapter: Part 3, A. IV. 3.
Suggested solution:
Art. 157(1), (2) and (4) TFEU are of a substantive nature, i.e. they impose obligations and they grant rights. In contrast, Art. 157(3) TFEU is a legal basis provision, i.e. it gives the EU the competence to act in the relevant field (which is broader than equal pay). Note: Art. 157(3) TFEU is very similar to Art. 153(2)(b) TFEU. However, the latter only allows for the adoption of minimum directives. In that regard, Art. 157(3) TFEU is broader.
