European Company Law
In the company law section there is a review of the (legislative) acts passed by EU bodies so far. In the first place there is a compilation of company law directives. The directives which contain regulations on board-level representation or information and consultation of employees, and so of particular significance for the legal position of employees, are documented in more detail.
This section also contains information on other issues in European company law, such as the European Cooperative Society or the European Private Company (SPE). Both have significant implications for employees’ rights. Finally, some resolutions of the European Parliament in relation to company law are addressed separately. These are not binding, however, and the Parliament also lacks a right of initiative for legislative acts in the area of company law. Nevertheless, these resolutions indicate what is likely to obtain the (obligatory) agreement of the Parliament.
