Expert Group’s report on the implementation of Recast Directive 2009/38/EC on European Works Councils
The European Commission set up an Expert Group composed of national experts and the social affairs counsellors in order to provide a forum for discussing the arrangements for the transposition of Directive 2009/38/EC of 6 May 2009 on the establishment of a European Works council (recast) into national legislation.
The report is, in fact, a simple reminder to all which are or will be involved in the legislative work leading to the transposition of the Directive in all countries concerned by it. It is by no means binding and does not in any way exonerate Member States from the responsibility of ensuring its correct transposition and application, as it does not exempt the Commission from its obligation to monitor that work.
