"Mr President, the proposal for a directive on the involvement of employees in the European company gives us our first opportunity to establish at Community level a precise definition of what is meant by the right to information, consultation and participation of employees in all companies. The proposal determines the registration to a trade regime by companies which may choose this new statute following a negotiated agreement on employee involvement. Under these conditions, the Group of the Greens is not turning its nose up at it; the group supports Mr Menrad’s report and its proposals, the aim of which is the swift adoption and effective implementation of this directive. Of course, we will do this in the belief that this required condition certainly does not allow us to consider that European legislation genuinely fulfils current needs. As soon as the vote is over, we must carry on and get back down to work on this issue. You are aware that this directive will in future only apply to the employees of companies that choose this new statute, in other words, a small minority. That is why we must obviously stop ourselves from celebrating and trying to make an impact. We will only have made progress when we have simultaneously adopted this directive, revised the directive that we discussed earlier on European works councils and approved the Directive on Information and Consultation of Employees under conditions that differ slightly from the position adopted by the Council. The co-decision procedure must be used in order to perform this legislative work under conditions which guarantee a genuine debate, involving society and citizens. I would like to stress that the Group of the Greens rejects the pressure that inevitably leads to restricting its right to legislate, on the pretext of being efficient and swift, particularly because, as we all know, this dossier dates back a long way."@en1
