Revision of EWC Directive moves towards final stages

January 31, 2025

Trilogue negotiations with the EU institutions on legislative proposals for an amended EWC Directive are due to begin in the coming weeks and are expected to be concluded by mid-2025. As trilogue negotiations commence next month, there are a number of proposals of the EU institutions which continue to be of concern including the proposed broadening of the definition of transnational and proposed amendments to the consultation requirements. Further proposals as regards the payment of legal representation, experts, and training are also a cause for apprehension for businesses.
