Back No. 83/2012 European Confederation of Police (EUROCOP) v. Ireland

The complaint was registered on 7 June 2012.  The complainant organisation alleges that police representative associations in Ireland, and more specifically, the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI), do not enjoy full trade unions rights, which include, in particular, the right to join an umbrella organisation and the right to bargain collectively. The complainant organisation alleges a violation of Articles 5 (the right to organise), 6 (the right to bargain collectively), and 21 (the right to information and consultation) of the European Social Charter (Revised).

The European Committee of Social Rights declared the complaint admissible as far as it concerns Article 5 and 6 of the Charter, declared the remainder of the complaint inadmissible and concluded that there was a violation of Articles 5, 6§2 and 6§4 of the Charter and transmitted its report containing its decision on admissibility and the merits of the complaint to the Parties and to the Committee of Ministers on 16 January 2014.

The Committee of Ministers adopted Resolution Res/CM ChS (2014) 12 on 8 October 2014.
