Social Dimension

The European project is not only about encouraging economic progress, but also about stimulating social progress within the Member States. Ever since its earliest incarnation , the European Union has strived to continuously improve the lives and the living conditions of its citizens. The implementation of the single market has also had its impact on the aviation sector, which has transformed radically in recent years.

Following the adoption of the Regulation EC 1008/2008 on common rules for the operation of air services in the Community, the European Commission has conducted a survey analysing employment and working conditions within the internal market for aviation over the period 1997-2007.

Such a survey, which has also been based on information provided by stakeholders and Member States, provides for the first time an extensive analysis of employment in the air sector over a ten-year period (1997 - 2007), and establishes a sound basis for a constructive debate with all the social partners and institutions. The Commission also intends to update this Social Paper on a regular basis.
