24.05.2007: New
EFES call to the Governments of the European Union
A recent study funded by the European Commission enlightened
the fact that 89% of all 2.000 widest European Groups (29 millions
employees) have employee share ownership and 83% have plans
to develop it more.
These Groups consider employee share ownership as one of the
best ways for aligning employees and shareholders interests,
motivating people, improving corporate performances and giving
people the chance to share better corporate results.
They are used to offer annual share plans to their employees
in all possible countries.
Unfortunately, the main obstacle in development of their common
human resources policy is the lack of proper legislation in
several Member States. This situation causes discrimination
between their employees - people from various countries, and
put a brake on their development and investments abroad.
This is why we would like to trigger discussion about the most
effective legislation. Our aim is to encourage all governments
to introduce a dedicated legislation, allowing the following
employee share plans, as the most used across the world, in
the European Union and the United States as well:
- Employee Stock Purchase Plan,
possibly annual
- Discount rate 20%, free of tax and
social security, up to 10% of annual gross salary (or 5.000
Euro annually)
- Blockage period: 3 years (through
deferred stocks, blocked stocks or options with vesting period).

07.03.2007: The CoCo Report: Work, Happiness and Employee
Ownership: Companies where workers have a say in decisions
and a stake in ownership are more productive because staff are
happier, according to a new report in the UK. The study found
absence levels were lower and workers were more committed in
"co-owned" companies. The British Government was urged to introduce
tax incentives to encourage the launch of more co-owned companies.
