    Summary
    The present general report is based on the analysis and the evaluation of country studies written by national experts of EU Member States. The group was asked to interpret the notion of evolution paying attention to changes in national legal systems, both for reasons of innovation and adaptation of previous legislation.The impact of EU law was to be taken into account, for the transposition of relevant directives and with regard to the employment guidelines issued by the Council, according to Title VIII TEC. The research group dealt with the evolution of labour law in 15 Member States. In the 10 Member States which joined the EU in May 2004 labour law has evolved too, albeit with different points of departure and complex social and political factors underlying these changes. They have in recent years engaged in a sustained process of convergence with the rest of the EU, which should be the object of further investigation in a different research project.The outcome of the present joint study is offered to the observation of new Member States, with a view to expanding the field of comparative research in the near future. This report, in line with what emerges from national reports, highlights such a double role of collective sources, but does not provide information on the evolution of collective bargaining as such.The main emphasis in this report is on changes which have taken place in individual labour law. This study confirms that as a peculiar feature of European labour law,all forms of negotiated legislation,social pacts and ‘concertation’ – the latter being a neologism which is now widely recognised as part of the official jargon – must be referred to as important resources for the evolution of labour law.
