DRAFT LAW NO. 781 /X/4.

"European Works Councils"

Exhibition of reasons

The Law No. 40/99 of June 9, which transposed the Council Directive No 94 /45/CE, of

September 22, has made it more effective, in our legal planning, the right to

information and consultation of company employees or company groups of size

community by regulating the institution of European works councils or of

simplified information and consultation procedures in companies and groups of companies

of community dimension.

Subsequently, with a view to the simplification of the legislation and having on the basis of ideals of

systematization and codification of labour law, Law No. 99/2003 of August 27,

regulated the matter, referring to special legislation, Law No. 35/2004 of July 29, the

rules that have enshrined the process of negotiations, the agreements on information and consultation

and the institution of the European company council.

Finally, in the performance of the government decision to revise the labour law, in

compliance with what has been verted in the XVII Constitutional Government Programme, the

Labour Code, in its current version adopted by Law No 7/2009 of February 12,

has referred to special legislation the regulation of matter.

Thus, the present draft law proceeds to the revision of the scheme in force, transposing to the

domestic legal order Directive 94 /45/CE of the Council of September 22, 1994,

on the institution of a European company council or a procedure of

information and consultation in companies or groups of companies of community dimension, the

2

Council Directive 97 /74/CE of December 15, 1997, which makes it extensive to

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland the previous Directive, and the Directive

2006 /109/CE of the Council of November 20, 2006, which adapts the first in

virtue of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and taking into consideration the commitment

existing between the Council and the European Parliament on the reformulation of the said

Directives.

It should be mentioned that the specific regulation that it is proposed does not intend to introduce

a profound change to the legal regime currently beholdant, but so only to organize it from

more intelligible and accessible form, taking advantage of to correct situations that have proved

unadjusted in its practical application, limiting to the minimum the charges imposed on

companies or establishments and at the same time ensuring the effective exercise of the

rights enshrined.

Thus, the Deputies of the undersigned Socialist Party present, in the terms

applicable constitutional, legal and regimental, the following Draft Law :
