Commission launches new consultation on revision of EWC Directive [30 April 2008]
http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/eiro/2008/03/articles/eu0803039i.htm
Abstract:
In February 2008, the European Commission invited social partners to consult on the revision of the 1994 Council Directive on European Works Councils (EWCs) one of its legislative priorities for 2008. With this long-awaited step, the process of revising the EWCs Directive enters a new and decisive phase. The European Trade Union Confederation and other European trade unions welcomed the second-phase consultation, while BusinessEurope has opposed this step.
