摘要:The adoption of the European Society Statute in 2001 fulfilled a long pursued goal of the European Union institutions. It provided companies with a single legal tool to register in all member states. Besides, the European Society Statute was supplemented with a Directive on workers’ involvement which was seen as legal piece with many possibilities for the future development of European industrial relations. Those expectations have not been met a decade and almost a half after. The regulation has not achieved the transformational effects on the practice of employee representation at corporate decision-making that some experts and practitioners foresaw by the time it was passed. The article evaluates the reasons for this failure. The track of the European Society Statute is reconstructed in order to explain why its alleged capacity for transformation has not been shown.
