The emergence of European Works Councils (EWCs) is a major part of the development of an industrial relations system at European level. The EWC agreement at Bosch was concluded by a special negotiating body on 29 April 1998. It is an Article 6 agreement and came into force on 1 July 1998 as a contract with no time limit. The agreement has been modified twice since then. [Author vide Copyright]

This report aims to compare EGF experiences in two countries: Germany and Finland. In both countries, changes in market patterns have affected mobile phone and component manufacturers, with BenQ in Germany and Perlos in Finland shifting production from Europe to low-cost countries in Asia with resulting large-scale factory closures and thousands of workers losing their jobs. The purpose of this case study is to explore the support measures implemented as a result of EGF intervention and the added value of the EGF in these two cases.[Author vide Copyright]
