2008/0414(COD)

The dossier concerns a Directive on the information and consultation of employees through European Works Councils. The amendments define the transnational character of matters, set thresholds for Community-scale undertakings and groups by employees and Member States, detail the special negotiating body, consultation procedures and training treated as working time, and require dissuasive measures for non-compliance and adaptation of councils on mergers, acquisitions or divisions.
