Council Directive 98/59/EC on collective redundancies and Council Directive 2001/23/EC on the transfer of undertakings go beyond ensuring the information and consultation of workers' representatives; for instance, the latter Directive ensures the safeguarding of workers' rights when a business is transferred from one employer to another.
Direktivom Vijeća 98/59/EZ o kolektivnom otkazivanju i Direktivom Vijeća 2001/23/EZ o prijenosu poduzeća ne osigurava se samo obavješćivanje predstavnika radnika i savjetovanje s njima.
