Abstract: This paper considers the likely impact of the European Information and Consultation Directive on French labour law. Examining the main provisions of the Directive, it aims to demonstrate that French law will not require substantial changes, as the national institution of comité d?entreprise already performs the functions of information and consultation, generally within the parameters of the Directive. The paper therefore provides a comprehensive overview of the composition, role and powers of the comité d?entreprise in order to see how they measure up to the requirements of the Directive.
