Abstract
In September 1994, the Council of Ministers decided on a Directive on the establishment of a European Works Council for the purposes of informing and consulting employees (94/45/EC). The emergence of European Works Councils (EWCs) is a major part of the development of an industrial relations system at European level. The agreement on the European works council was reached on 11 October 1995 under Article 13 of the Directive and has since been reviewed and renewed in 2001.The main reason for renewal was to admit countries with sales and service operations into the council.
