European Conference
6 February 2019 - 9:00 -12:00
Employee Share Ownership - The European Policy
"Employee
share ownership for all" - this is the goal of the
European Policy for 30 years. Today we are 10 million
employee shareholders in 95% of all European listed
companies, 30 million voters including families. However
we would be six times more to be comparable with the
USA. A European Action Plan was requested by the European
Council in 2000, it was announced by the Commission
in 2002, it was prepared by a Pilot Project in 2014
and it has now to be implemented.
Please
use this button for pre-registration. Given the limited
number of places and for security reasons, the conference
will be only by invitation.

European
Parliament's Vote
The Parliament passed its Resolution by an overwhelming
majority on 23 October in Strasbourg (589 for, 39
against and 10 abstentions). This is thanks to the
Report due to Ms Renate Weber, Romanian Member of
the European Parliament (MEP), reiterating the Parliament's
support to the goal of "employee share ownership
for all" and the need for a European Action Plan.
Amongst all benefits, the Report particularly highlights
the positive effect of employee share ownership on
growth and employment.
Together with other MEPs, candidates to the 2019 Election
and European Commissioners, Ms Renate Weber will conclude
the Conference of 6 February in Brussels.
