Ps adopted the report of French MEP Jean-Louis Cottigny (PES, FR) on the application of Directive 2002/14/EC on the information and consultation of workers. The European Parliament deplores Member States’ failure to implement European legislation and asks them and the European Commission to guarantee a more efficient transposition of this right. (Ref. 090199)
The objective of
the 2002 European directive is ever so topical. In Jean-Louis Cottigny’s report
– adopted by an overwhelming majority (598 votes for, 21 against and 32 abstentions)
– the MEPs remind that it is to “establish a general framework for informing
and consulting employees about the future of the undertaking in which they are
employed and for consulting them effectively in anticipation of the economic
developments of that undertaking.”
