Abstract: This article discusses the different theories relating to the coordination of wage demands in Europe. The introduction of the euro, enlargement and the completion of the internal market having created a need to prevent pay dumping and to facilitate wage convergence in Europe, the authors of this article recommend, to this end, a coordination of collective bargaining on the basis of procedural guidelines such as those adopted by the ETUC in 2000. Alongside this somewhat technical approach, the contribution reviews the actual efforts at coordination undertaken by the ETUC to date.
