Presidency
of the European Union Council – Conference on employee
ownership
The conference expressed its support to the European
Economic and Social Committee, asking for:
● Regarding large companies: Each European
country should make available "an optional
simple, uniform incentive model, with the same tax-arrangements
and incentives throughout the EU".
● Regarding SMEs: Each European country
should strongly encourage business transmission
to employees as the USA did since 1974 – this is
the concept of a "European ESOP model"
for SMEs.
The report of the conference is now available. Read

Manifesto for the 2009 European Parliament
Elections
150 Members of the European Parliament
and candidates from all political parties answered
our Manifesto for the European elections. The last
ten years saw a strong development of employee ownership
in European companies. Strangely, this happened
while a European policy for the promotion and the
development of employee ownership was completely
lacking. It is time to reconsider things and to
relaunch a real European policy. This is a role
for the new European Parliament. Detailed information
