The European Parliament influenced policy, and was a forum for the airing and sharing of a wide array of views and approaches to forms of European integration. Often conflicted and divided, members of the British Labour Group, comprising of the elected Labour Party representatives to the European Parliament, viewed the European Economic Community as a key platform and means through which workers’ rights could be supported. And many Labour Party Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), including sceptics, enthusiasts and those whose views changed, played a part in shaping the European Economic Community. This was particularly so with workers’ rights, an area which was central to the Labour Party, the European Parliament and the European Economic Community in the 1980s. The European Parliament was an instrumental institution in terms of building ties across borders and shaping and changing perspectives on key policy areas.

怀疑论者、狂热者还是建筑师？英国劳工组织、欧洲议会和工人权利，1979-1989


欧洲议会影响着政策，并且是一个传播和分享欧洲一体化形式的广泛观点和方法的论坛。由选举产生的欧洲议会工党代表组成的英国工党集团成员经常发生冲突和分裂，他们将欧洲经济共同体视为支持工人权利的关键平台和手段。欧洲议会（MEP）的许多工党议员，包括怀疑论者、热衷者和观点改变的人，在塑造欧洲经济共同体的过程中发挥了作用。工人权利尤其如此，该领域是 20 世纪 80 年代工党、欧洲议会和欧洲经济共同体的核心领域。欧洲议会在建立跨境关系以及塑造和改变关键政策领域的观点方面发挥了重要作用。
