"Mr President, Commissioner, rapporteur, the view that it is, in general, appropriate and also necessary to ensure an adequate flow of information between a company and all its stakeholders, especially the employees involved in the life of the company, is, I believe, widely held, including by myself. However, I am not in favour of imposing on the States, the individual Member States, solutions which involve employees in management decisions, on the basis, in some cases, of joint management models which are foreign to the legal and economic traditions of many European countries, as has just been said. I therefore feel that, in line with both the Commission’s initial proposal and the Council’s common position, the directive before us needs to leave the Member States sufficient room for manoeuvre to identify the best way of adhering to the principle of the need to keep employees informed.
However, many of the amendments adopted by the Commission and included in the common position which we are about to put to the vote conflict with this, particularly Amendments Nos 2 and 12, which seek to grant employees’ representatives a sort of
and I repeat
right of veto on decisions taken by companies. I therefore call upon Parliament not to adopt the amendments and to stay with the Council’s common position.
I would like to make one last point: Article 3 (2) lays down specific provisions applying to political associations, trade associations
and religious organisations etc. Does this mean that political parties, trade unions and churches can carry out restructuring without informing their employees, while normal companies are obliged to do so? This is my question."@en1
