European Commission consults on review of employee involvement Directive

The European Commission launched a consultation of EU-level trade union and employers' organisations in July 2011 on a review of the 2001 Directive on employee involvement in "European Companies" (a special form of company based in EU law). The Commission has raised concerns about issues such as the complexity of the Directive's rules and a lack of legal certainty in some areas.
