Germany Conference on Employee Financial Participation at Viadrina European University, Frankfurt-on-Oderread more

The conference is one of a total of nine national conferences organised by the national project partners in the framework of the project "Information and Communication Project – Promoting Employee Financial Participation in the EU-27" - VP/2010/013/0084 (abbreviated: Pro-EFP) funded by the European Commission. Organiser of the conference as a national project partner is the Kelso Professorship of Comparative Law, East European Business Law and European Legal Policy (Prof. Dr iur. Jens Lowitzsch) at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics, Viadrina European University. The conference will take place under the auspices of Honorary Prof. Günter Verheugen, retired Vice-President of the European Commission, who will also deliver the keynote speech.

With regard to the EU-2020 Strategy, to the competitiveness of the European small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME), as well as to the European Social Model, the own-initiative opinion SOC 371 on Employee Financial Participation recently adopted by the European Economic and Social Committee on 21 October 2010 calls for the promotion of concepts of employee financial participation in particular for SMEs.

Also in Germany, with the adoption of the Law on Employee Share Ownership of 7 March 2009, the topic of Employee Financial Participation has emerged on the political agenda. The initiative of the German Federal legislator aiming in particular at the development of concepts for SMEs, has had only very limited success so far, though.

Against this background, the conference will formulate recommendations for the reform of the mentioned German law as well as for the further development of the European agena. In the context of the continuing European integration and on the basis of the mentioned initiatives, a German concept of Employee Share Ownership for SMEs will be presented. As for the development of a participation model, the recommendations for reform are based on the ESOP concept, which has been utmost successfully practiced in the U.S. and a number of European countries for more than 50 years.
