Revision of the European Works Councils Directive: Stronger social dialogue in a multinational context
European Works Councils (EWCs) are bodies that should guarantee employees the right to be consulted on important issues in large multinational companies active in multiple EU countries. However, EWCs have been criticised for being ineffective, on account of unclear definitions, non-dissuasive sanctions and ineffective access to justice. In February 2023, the European Ϸվ called for legislative action to address the shortcomings identified and strengthen the functioning of EWCs. In response, the European Commission consulted European social partners and put forward a proposal in January 2024 to revise the 2009 directive. Ϸվ's Committee on Employment and Social Affairs voted its report on 3 April 2024 just ahead of the elections. The Council then adopted its general approach on 20 June 2024. On 3 December 2024, the committee decided to enter interinstituional negotiations on the basis of the report, with the mandate confirmed by plenary vote on 19 December. Trilogue negotiations have now started. Third edition. The 'EU Legislation in Progress' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the legislative procedure.
