  • Efes Database of European Companies 2020 Version
    European Federation of Employee Share Ownership www.efesonline.org March 15, 2020 EFES DATABASE OF EUROPEAN COMPANIES EMPLOYEE SHARE OWNERSHIP / GOVERNANCE / OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE 2020 VERSION The EFES Annual Economic Survey brings a practically exhaustive picture. It is based on the EFES database of European companies. The database gathers all detailed information about employee share ownership, employee share plans and participation in each of all significant European listed companies and in each of all large European majority-employee-owned non- listed companies. In addition, the database gathers also information about corporate governance and about the ownership structure of European companies. The first idea for such a database was tested in 2005. A comprehensive database was set up in 2006, thanks to the support of the European Commission – DG Employment and Social Affairs. Then, the database was annually completed and updated since year 2007. From time to time within the last thirty years, some European reports gave information about employee share ownership and its development across Europe. The most important reports were: PEPPER I Report in year 1991, PEPPER II Report in year 1996 and a Report named "Recent trends in employee financial participation in the European Union" by Professor Erik Poutsma in 2001. At this time, these reports were practically the only source of information regarding the extent of employee share ownership in the European Union. However, they were based on partial information (phone inquiries) which was not made available before a very long delay. For instance, the 2001 Report was "based on the findings of the 1996 EPOC survey (Employee Direct Participation in Organisational Change), conducted on behalf of the [Dublin] Foundation." Finally, we didn't have relevant information for all countries of the European Union (for instance, the 2001 Report gave information about 10 countries, no more).

Look out for Barclays Cycle Superhighways across the Capital, and Barclays Cycle Hire users in central and eastern areas. 1. Give all cyclists space as you overtake (about half the width of your bus, or 1.2m) and do not cut in on cyclists as you approach bus stops. 45 More than just a driver Other road users 2. Do not stop in the Advanced Stop Box. It must be left clear for cyclists. 3. Remember to watch out for motorcyclists, who can now use certain bus lanes. 4. Watch out for pedestrians and keep your speed low. Use dipped headlights, especially in contra-flow bus lanes and central areas, such as Oxford Street or Piccadilly. Your company may ask you to use dipped headlights at all times. 5. At road junctions, be aware of other large vehicles such as lorries. Like buses, they need a wide area to turn. 6. Remember, taxis can use bus lanes so be prepared to stop if they are picking up or setting down passengers.
