The article examines the first two decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union on Artide 6 of the Rome Convention on the law applicable to employment contracts. The author underlines the effort of the Court in giving raise to a well integrated European system of conflict of laws and international procedure's rules. Building on the value given by the Court to its previous case law on grounds for jurisdiction in employment contracts, the author then argues that such a system is thoroughly oriented towards a substantive (not formal) construction of conflict of laws'rules, in view of attaining the aim of protection of the employee
Il contributo esamina le prime due sentenze nelle quali la Corte di giustizia dell’Unione europea interpreta l’art. 6 della Convenzione di Roma, relativo alla legge applicabile ai contratti individuali di lavoro. L’autore sottolinea lo sforzo della Corte nella ricostruzione di un sistema di diritto internazionale privato e processuale europeo organico e ben integrato. Sulla scorta del valore attribuito dalla Corte alla propria precedente giurisprudenza sui titoli di giurisdizione in materia di contratto di lavoro, l’autore sostiene che tale sistema appare fortemente orientato verso un’interpretazione materiale (non formale) delle regole di conflitto, volta alla realizzazione della miglior tutela del lavoratore.
