14 European countries in 2007 – and Austria

Compared with a set of 14 European countries, employee share ownership seems low in Austria. We made a presentation last month in Vienna on invitation of Vice-Chancellor Wilhelm Molderer and Minister of Economics and Labour Martin Bartenstein, comparing employee share ownership in 14 European countries. This is based on most recent numbers, those of year 2006/2007 – a photography of European employee ownership in real time. See presentation

All-Party Parliamentary Group on Employee Ownership in UK
British Parliament decided to set up a permanent All-Party Parliamentary Group on Employee Ownership. This looks a major political step for employee ownership in UK. The Group organised first a public inquiry, allowing us to express our requirements regarding employee ownership not only in UK but for the whole European Union. See inquiry

France gave its annual Employee Share Ownership Awards to SCOR (available in all languages). Some major companies launch new employee share ownership plans successfully (Alstom, Axa). Employee savings is now a standard in widest companies. A new ranking is even been set up for administration providers regarding employee share ownership plans.
