The Additional Protocol providing a system of collective complaints of 1995 is one
of measures designated to improve the effective enforcement of the social rights
guaranteed by the Charter.
The Protocol entitles social partners and non-governmental organisations to lodge
Summary collective complaints of violations of the Charter in States which have ratified it.
The complaint is examined by the European Committee of Social Rights which
declares it admissible if the formal requirements have been met. The Committee
then takes a decision on the merits of the complaint, which it forwards to the parties
concerned and to the Committee of Ministers in a report, which is made public
within four months of its being forwarded.
On the basis of the report of the European Committee of Social Rights, the
Committee of Ministers adopts a resolution. If appropriate, it may recommend that
the State concerned take specific measures to bring the situation into line with the
Charter.
