Larger scope. The new agreement will have a larger scope than the previous one. The 2004 agreement only covered businesses where EDF held a majority of the capital. The 2009 agreement has a larger perimeter but introduces a form of subsidiarity. Thus, the new text is presented as a common base for businesses which EDF directly controls but now also applies to “businesses with over 50 employees where EDF holds, directly or indirectly, at least 45% of the capital.” More precisely, the agreement applies to businesses controlled by the group which were covered by the previous agreement – i.e. 14 businesses in 7 countries (France, Great Britain, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, China and Vietnam). On the other hand, in the future, businesses entering the perimeter will only be covered by the agreement if they adhere to it. In addition, the new agreement provides that in businesses where EDF SA has a notable influence with no direct control, the signatory parties commit to promote the present agreement to apply its provisions.
