Nothing should prevent the permanent adoption of the recast EWC directive during the Council of Ministers of the EU on December 17. The latter should adopt the text which came out of the trialogue (see our dispatch No. 080979), which should also be adopted by the Parliament the day before. To this dispatch is attached the consolidated text which should be the new EWC directive. (Ref. 081006)
Everything is complete,
and next week’s meetings should only be a political formality. The trialogue’s compromise
(see
our dispatch No. 080979) was accepted by the Coreper (the Committee of Permanent
Representatives with ambassadors from the Member States) which prefigures the Council
of Ministers (only Great Britain voted against); 2/ the European Parliament’s
Committee on Employment made this compromise its own; it submitted it to the
Plenary Assembly, which should adopt it rather easily. Haz
