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 Europe. 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, announced by the Commission in 2002, prepared by a Pilot Project in 2014 , the need was reaffirmed through the European Parliament's Resolution of 23 November 2018. It has now to be put in place.

Please use this button for pre-registration. Given the limited number of places and for security reasons, the conference will be only by invitation.
