"This article is based on the INFORMIA study which investigated the nature and extent of information and consultation (I&C) arrangements in four EU Member States (Bulgaria, France, Ireland and Italy) and one candidate country (Croatia). The study analysed not just the I&C procedures arising from the transposition of Directive 2002/14/EC on information and consultation of employees, but also other arrangements of longer standing, such as European Works Councils (EWCs) and the I&C procedure on occupational health and safety issues. It examined the application of I&C arrangements in the participating countries, with a particular focus on rights, responsibilities, methods of electing employee representatives, and the scope of I&C arrangements. Finally, the study examined whether any of the enterprises surveyed had made use of I&C procedures as part of their strategies for dealing with the global economic crisis. "
