Abstract

Companies have been able to adopt the statute of a European Company (Societas Europaea or SE) for some six years now. 1 In the meantime, a number of alternatives to the SE statute have emerged, including the cross-border merger and the proposal for a European Private Company (Societas Privata Europaea or SPE). This article shows that current SE legislation can be considered as the temporary pinnacle of employee involvement at EU level, with the main danger for employee participation rights seeming at present to come from European Court of Justice case-law on the freedom of establishment, which poses fundamental problems to participation.
