The chocolate and confectionery manufacturerCémoi (3300 employees, including 2200 in France) renewed its European Works Council agreement with French trade unions on 30 January. The agreement states that "the three foreign companies and their unions did not wish to take part in the present negotiations. "The group reached an agreement on 3 April 2012 to transfer the competences of the group committee to the European Works Council. The agreement on the European Works Council was concluded for a fixed term of four years. It expired in 2016 and was renewed for four years until June 30, 2020. However, "the parties agreed to bring forward the negotiation of a new agreement so that the March 2020 European Works Council meeting would be composed in accordance with the new trade union representation and newly elected officials. "The special negotiating group, mandated by the central trade union organisations, met on 16 January and 30 January 2020 to conclude the new agreement.
The European Works Council has 14 seats, including 11 for France and three for the three sites located in Germany, Spain and United Kingdom. The agreement is very close to the the text of Directive 2009/38 and incorporates the recital of the Directive extending the European Works Council's competence "to questions which, irrespective of the number of of Member States concerned, shall be the importance for European workers, in terms of the scale of their potential impact, or involving transfers of activity between Member States. »
