The EWC directive set in place a new approach to information and consultation within transnational companies. Fourteen years after the adoption of the directive it is now clear that several aspects of the directive are in acute need of revision if the purposes intended of the directive by the European Commission are to be met. This view is also confirmed by the experiences of EWC members who identify marked inadequacies in the quality of information and consultation available within EWCs. This memorandum reviews the inadequacies of the current directive and isolates those areas in which need to be revised if the directive is to work as intended by the Commission.
