>  
> 1)       We agree on the first question : a Commission plan for a
> Community initiative on financial participation .
> 2)     To accomplish the first and the other four questions the Commission
> should carry out the European Parliament Resolution on the Commission
> report on PEPPER II  ( 15 January 1998). In that Resolution  the Europen
> Parliament calls on the Commission :
> ·        to conduct a study into the impact of financial participation
> schemes in member states on employment , prodictivity and wage flexibility
> , and to assess the conditions for introducing such schemes in enterprises
> , in particular small and medium-sized enterprises;
> ·        to implement an adequately financed programme to promote the
> exchange of information and best practice , together with training for
> both sides of industry in financial participation schemes;
> ·        to set up a working party consisting of representatives of both
> sides of industry , members of the European Parliament and Commission
> experts to promote the introduction of PEPPER schemes in equivalent
> conditions throughout the Community , in particular in transnational
> enterprises ; the working party should consider all aspects of financial
> participation which are of relevance to the EU , particulary those
> outlined in its opinion of 9 April 1992 referred to above ;
> ·        to study the need for a Community initiative concerning aspects
> of policy on capital , for example a recommendation on the coordination or
> harmonization of support for enterprises with a European dimension or to
> ensure the promotion of capital -forming payments to or by migrant workers
> , including where the latter thereby acquire participating interests in
> the production sector in their home country ,         
> ·        to develop pilot projects , along the lines it has itself
> suggested , for the partcipation of undertakings e.g. in connection with
> the privatisation of state enterprises , including projects in the
> countries of central and eastern Europe .
>    
> 3)     The working party should lay down general principles at Europen
> level and other measures that the Commission should include in its action
> plan.
> 4)     The working party should also deal with the problem of
> transnational obstacles pointing out that differences in taxation and in
> compulsory social security contributions on income from financial
> participation between Member States seriously hinder employee ownership in
> international companies.
> 5)     Finally we think that a policy of promotion of employee share
> ownwrship and participation should have a well dedicated budgetary line
