This procedure requires that the Board of the company has to give the necessary information to the staff representatives of the Work's Council to make them able to understand the project and to give their advice, which is required before the implementation.

In the framework where the staff has the right to be informed about the situation of their company through their representatives, the abilities of the Chartered Accountant of the Work's Council are written into law.
