Commission Report (2002): Poland
Legislative Alignment has not yet been completed although some progress
has been made and considerable further efforts are required to ensure proper
implementation of EC legislation in the fields of labour law, equal treatment
for women and men and health and safety at work. Initial steps have been
taken to strengthen the related administrative and enforcement structures,
including the labour inspectorates. In these areas the measures set out in
the Action Plan have commenced, notably the creation of the plenipotentiary
for equal status of Women and Men. In all of these areas there will need to
be a focused follow through of these actions if the objectives of the Action
Plan are to be met.
The adoption of legislation against discrimination and a timetable for its
implementation is awaited. There has been progress towards aligning the
national system for surveillance and control of communicable diseases and
health monitoring and information with those of the EU and the measures set
out in the Action Plan are being undertaken on schedule. Further support for
social partners' capacity-building efforts, in particular with a view to
their future in the elaboration and implementation of EU employment and
social policy, including the European Social Fund is being provided as
foreseen in the Action Plan. More is required notably concerning autonomous
bipartite social dialogue, and measures to this end were included in the
Action Plan and are now underway. The national strategy on social inclusion
will be developed in the future on the basis of the EU approach. In overall
terms, the Accession Partnership priorities in the field of social policy
have not been met. Implementation of the measures under the Action Plan is
progressing slowly.
