The draft Law on Employee Involvement in European Companies was prepared by the Ministry of Social Security and Labour in October 2004. Due to some disagreements with the Ministry of Finance regarding the rules on the financing of SNBs and European Works Councils, as well as the reimbursement of travel and living costs, the Ministry of Social Security and Labour was able to present the draft to the Tripartite Council only after a delay of several months. After the Tripartite Council reached agreement on the draft on 25 January, the Government approved it on 9 March and sent it to the Parliament (Seimas) for final adoption. The Law is likely to be adopted before June.
