". – The EPLP has voted for the motion for resolution on the social consequences of restructuring because we believe in partnership in the workplace. However, we have reservations on the resolution itself.
The EPLP recognises that attention needs to be given to the social consequences of restructuring and has voted for this resolution as it is non-legislative. However there are aspects which are not supported.
Paragraph 6 is not supported by the EPLP. The EPLP continues to have strong reservations as was expressed at first reading of the framework directive on informing and consulting employees.
In January, Stephen Byers, UK Minister for Trade and Industry announced that business and Unions would be brought together in the UK to examine and review current UK legislation for consultation. However, the Minister stated that the UK Government continues to oppose the European legislation on information and consultation. Mr Byers stated that for the UK, "our whole system of corporate structures is quite different from that on the continent. However, in many respects, the directive reflects the continental system of corporate governance, not that in the United Kingdom. The directive is not appropriate for several reasons, but the issue is important and we should deal with it in our domestic setting." (Commons Hansard Debates 18th January 2001)
The EPLP supports the view of the Minister that it is inappropriate to have European wide legislation in the area of information and consultation."@en1
