    Commissioner Monti had informed the Council of the mandates and working calendar of the independent group of experts charged with identifying solutions designed to break the deadlock currently affecting the proposal for a regulation on the Statute for a European Society (SE). The mandate given to the group, which was chaired by Mr Etienne Davignon, former Vice-President of the Commission, was restricted to the investigation of solutions affecting the position of employees within the framework of the SE. The group was to present its report in early 1997. The current proposal on the SE had first been submitted to the Council in 1989, but the project had stalled because of the irreconcilable positions adopted on the provisions for employee participation in the decision-making bodies of the SE. This problem also affected proposals relating to European statutes for cooperative societies, mutual societies and associations.

    The Commission's modified proposal reflected, in whole or in part, 6 of the 23 amendments suggested by the European Parliament, including the following in particular: - those broadening the consultation and information of European Association workers on any decision potentially susceptible of having an impact on the future prospects of the European Association and on their conditions of employment, and on any decision requiring approval by the administrative board; - that allowing the workers' elected representatives to exercise their mandate during working hours, prohibiting any penalty imposed because of that mandate and preventing their dismissal in the absence of good reason; - that providing that the information and consultation system may not be modified, in the event that the registered office is transferred from one Member State to another, unless there is agreement between the administrative board and the workers' representatives. On the other hand, the Commission rejected all the amendments proposing that participation be imposed as an alternative model. �

    PURPOSE : to provide for the participation of employees in the EA in order to recognise their place and their role in the proposed organisation. PROPOSED ACT : Council Directive complementing the statute of the European Association concerning the role of workersCONTENT : The proposal deals with the role of workers in future European Associations, the establishment of which is the subject of a separate and simultaneous proposal (please see COD/1991/0386).Principle: the national provisions of the Statewhere the headquarters of the EA is located may be regarded as applicable with regard to the participation of workers in the bodies responsible for supervision and administration of European associations. Failing that, the Member State should make specific provisions to ensure at the least, consultation of and information to workers, in accordance with the model, the outlines of which are given in the proposal. Minimum provisions: the minimum requirementsoutlined in the proposal concerning the information and consultation of workers are the following:-the implementation of a procedure for adopting a system of information and consultation in EAs with at least 50 workers;-where the EA is set up directly by natural persons, the system chosen must be submitted for approval by the constitutive general assembly;-the administrative board of the EA must inform and consult the workers in good time and determine the areas on which at least the information and consultation must be provided, and especially on all proposals which may have serious consequences for the interests of workers or all questions concerning the conditions of employment. The directive specifies certain fundamental principles concerning the modalities of election and exercise of mandates. Accordingly, the workers’ representatives must be elected and represent the workers of all the various offices or factories of the EA, even if they are part-time employees.
