The role of the EWCs, for institution of information and consultation, is often respected, but the term
"consultation" is definite and intended like an exchange of opinions, a dialogue
between the parts, and only rarely the consultation is definite like the
possibility of a formal expression, by the EWCs, of opinions and evaluations on
the corporate suggests.
Today in all companies there are more and more frequently industrial
processes of breaking down, fusion, outsourcing, investments with decreasing
of employed and production transfers, and it is joint idea to proceed toward a
even more deregulation, where lack of limits and bonds for multinational
companies and their not respect for the existent rules in all countries, causes a
progressive decreasing of rights and contractual force for trade unions.
This economic context, together with the European Union enlargement to 27
countries, make EWC role and importance become more and more important.
