Notes:

Presentation by C. Sottile. Conference on the new EWC Directive in Italy-- A German-Italian meeting for European works councils took place in Rome on May 7th and 8th 2009 and was organized by the training and consultancy network "euro-workscouncil.net" together with the Italian institute IRES and the Friedrich-Ebert foundation. About 50 participants from various companies and trade unions were able to discuss the new legal position with experts such as Evelyne Pichot from the European Commission in Brussels and Prof. Dr. Ulrich Zachert from the University of Hamburg. It was the very first opportunity for Italian employee representatives to better inform themselves about the new EWC Directive after its adoption. On the second day of the meeting participants discussed the intercultural problems met during the creation of a European works council based on two examples. A German and an Italian speaker each highlighted the backgrounds in the UniCredit banking group (see report in EWC News 1/2007) and in the Buzzi Unicem cement group (see report in EWC News 2/2008). In both these cases there had been a German Italian merger beforehand. Source: http://www.ewc-news.com/en022009.htm#1
