InvigoratEU Social Acquis Compliance Scoreboard (D5.1)

The Social Acquis Compliance Scoreboard is a monitoring tool designed to assess the formal legal convergence of EU candidate countries with the EU's social policy framework. It focuses on seven countries - Albania, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Ukraine - tracking annual progress from the signing of each country's Association Agreement (AA) with the EU until 2024. The baseline is established using the legislation in force at the time of the AA signing, and changes are assessed annually by coding new or amended laws against 100 legally binding EU social policy indicators. The scoreboard is structured around five dimensions derived from EU law and policy: labour law, health and safety, equality and non-discrimination, social protection and inclusion, and social dialogue. Initially based on 718 indicators, the tool was streamlined for feasibility, ultimately focusing on 100 indicators across 20 attributes. National legal frameworks are assessed by human coders who evaluate whether each EU norm is fully, partially, or not at all incorporated into national law, assigning scores accordingly (0-2 points per indicator). The resulting annual scores provide a percentage-based measure of legal alignment with EU norms. This tool enables dynamic tracking of convergence trends and offers valuable insights to identify obstacles and support mechanisms for deeper EU integration in the social policy domain.欧盟社会既有法规合规记分牌（Social Acquis Compliance Scoreboard）是一款监测工具，旨在评估欧盟候选国与欧盟社会政策框架的正式法律趋同程度。该记分牌覆盖阿尔巴尼亚、格鲁吉亚、摩尔多瓦、黑山、北马其顿、塞尔维亚及乌克兰共7个国家，追踪各国自与欧盟签署联系国协定（Association Agreement, AA）起至2024年的年度进展情况。记分牌以各国签署联系国协定当日生效的立法作为基准，随后每年通过对照100项具有法律约束力的欧盟社会政策指标，对新出台或修订的法律进行编码评估，以此衡量规则变化情况。 该记分牌基于欧盟法律与政策划定五大评估维度：劳动法、健康与安全、平等与反歧视、社会保护与包容以及社会对话。该工具最初基于718项指标构建，后为提升实操可行性进行精简，最终聚焦于覆盖20个属性的100项指标。各国法律框架的评估由人工编码员完成，编码员将逐一判断欧盟各项规范是否完全、部分或完全未纳入本国法律，并据此给出对应评分（每项指标0-2分）。最终得出的年度评分以百分比形式呈现，用以衡量各国法律与欧盟规范的契合程度。本工具可动态追踪法律趋同趋势，并为识别欧盟社会政策领域深化一体化进程中的阻碍因素与支持机制提供极具价值的分析视角。
