The provisions of Directive 2009/38/EC on the role and protection of employees’ representatives should be amended to increase clarity and accuracy, in particular with regard to the protection of the members of special negotiating bodies and the members of European Works Councils against retaliatory measures or dismissals relating to the exercise of their functions. Members of special negotiating bodies, members of European Works Councils, and employees’ representatives in the framework of an information and consultation procedure, should enjoy, in the exercise of their functions, protection and guarantees equivalent to those provided for national employees’ representatives by the national law or practice applicable in their country of employment.
