Research into current European activity
With a view to informing the development of the PACE
framework by identifying best practice and possible options
for improvement, the Executive commissioned research into
current practice in other European countries. The research
concentrated on five countries: France, Germany, Ireland,
Italy and Sweden. With the exception of Ireland, the
research concluded that large-scale collective redundancies
in Europe are considerably more regulated in respect of
employment rights than in the UK.
The research also found that PACE is unique in providing
an ongoing national framework for dealing with threats and
actual redundancy situations at a local level.
