lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I want to make a point of thanking Mrs Gebhardt and Mr De Rossa for their efforts in relation to these two reports and for the painstaking work they have put into them. Here in plenary, those of us in the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats have tabled a number of amendments on the Statute for a European Cooperative Society. We believe that, as far as possible, the procedure for developing a European Cooperative Society must be characterised by scrutiny and transparency. Current provisions concerning employees’ right to information and consultation must be fully complied with. A number of amendments involve guarantees that, right from the start, an express account should be given of the expected consequences for employment of establishing a European Cooperative Society. Employees’ representatives must be given time to submit an opinion before decisions are taken. Because the proposal for a regulation concerns the various stages in the life cycle of a European Cooperative Society, such as its establishment, the transfer of headquarters and liquidation, a number of different amendments are required if it is to be possible to apply these principles to the different situations described in the proposal for a regulation. The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, of whose opinion I had the privilege of being the draftsman, also believes that the establishment of a European Cooperative Society must not lead to employees’ losing rights they enjoyed before its establishment. Allow me also to say very specifically, regarding Mr De Rossa’s report, how important it is to emphasise that, in connection with establishing a European Cooperative Society and in cases of extensive structural changes, there should be the right to engage in negotiations concerning employee involvement. All contributions must constitute an ongoing process. Our report also calls for the removal of the general clause according to which the Member States may be exempted from the provisions concerning employee involvement when a European Cooperative Society is established as a result of a merger between two cooperatives. I also wish to emphasise that the employee representatives on the management and supervisory bodies should be chosen or designated in accordance with national legislation."@en1
