| Summary: | "This Report summarises and updates the previous PEPPER reports. It is the result of the Commission funded project "Assessing and Benchmarking FP in the EU 27".
Complying with the concept of the PEPPER reports and building on them it provides a solid basis for leveraging the development of Financial Participation in the European Union in the context of the current reform process triggered by the European Commission and Parliament.
The Project closes the gap between PEPPER I/II (1991, EU-12 / 1997, EU-15) and PEPPER III (2006, 10 new Member States / 4 Candidate Countries). Furthermore it implements benchmarking indicators developed by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Working and Living Conditions in all 27 EU Member States and Candidate Countries.
The Report is divided into three parts. The first part consists of an overview chapter which provides a summary of the benchmarking project and the current situation of employee financial participation in countries under consideration, as well as chapters presenting and discussing the benchmarking results as well as a chapter on the fiscal framework and tax incentives in the EU-27. The second part consists of country profiles, each covering four main issues: (1) a short introductory summary; (2) the general environment for employee financial participation, highlighting the background, the attitudes of social partners as well as government policies; (3) the legal foundations for different forms of participation, including the incentives for application of schemes; and (4) a brief synopsis of participation in decision making. The third part of the Report summarises the experience of employee financial participation in Western and Eastern Europe, its role in the changing world of work in the 21st century and its relevance in the context of the European integration process. Finally recommendations and suggestions for further initiatives are made. " |
