lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Madam President-in-Office of the Council, ladies and gentlemen. First of all I would like to thank the rapporteur for his constructive approach to the revision of the directive. The rephrasing of the directive in question also raised certain legal issues concerning our possibilities for action. It seems that, with the assistance of the rapporteur, these have now been resolved. Nevertheless, the revision of the European Works Council directive has long been an important matter for both companies and trade unions. It is commendable that the parties in the labour market reached an agreement this summer. This will also make it easier for us in Parliament to successfully complete the treatment of this topic. Without casting doubt on the need to rephrase the directive at this time and in this situation, I nevertheless believe that a revised and updated version of the directive should be submitted to legislative procedure in the future; in other words, during the period of the next European Parliament. Yet today, as the representative of a small country, I cannot agree with the Commission’s suggestion that membership of a special commission should be made dependent on the number of employees in a company. Such a requirement could lead to a situation in which some Member States are left without anyone to represent their interests in negotiations."@en1
