The paradox is that, although many Member States of the European Union have adopted unifying directives imposing more advanced labour rights than those in the ILO conventions, they underestimate the importance of the formal question of ratification of these conventions at national level.
Paradoxul este că, deşi numeroase state membre ale Uniunii Europene au adoptat directive unificatoare, care acordă drepturi mai avansate lucrătorilor decât cele din cadrul convenţiilor OIM, aceste state subestimează importanţa chestiunii formale privind ratificarea acestor convenţii la nivel naţional.
