a column by Arthur Dyevre, Monika Glavina, Nicolas Lampach, Michal Ovádek and Wessel Wijtvliet for VOX: CEPR’s Policy Portal
Twenty-eight months after the Brexit referendum, EU laws, regulations, and doctrines continue to apply to UK residents and state officials.
This column shows that UK judges and litigants have already started to move away from EU law in anticipation of Brexit, with judges submitting 22–23% fewer questions to the European Court of Justice since the referendum.

Transnational labour markets and national wage setting systems in the EU
an article by Gerhard Bosch and Claudia Weinkopf (Institut Arbeit und Qualifikation, University Duisburg-Essen, Germany) published in Industrial Relations Journal
Volume 44 Issue 1 (January 2013)
Abstract
The article analyses the impact of European regulations of posting on different national wage systems.
The article shows that the impact varied across the countries and has been filtered by the national institutions regulating the labour market.
In the voluntarist wage setting systems of Germany and even Sweden, they have been a major factor bringing wages back into competition. The ability of national actors to act has been considerably curtailed by the European Court of Justice (EUJ), which has placed free competition above the basic rights of autonomous collective bargaining.
Because of the divergent interests of Member States, this weakening of national actors cannot be compensated for by transnational agreements. This ‘negative integration’ brings with it a serious risk that the inclusiveness of European wage systems will be eroded by a series of cumulative effects.
