UNI global union has been participating in the debate on regulating private equity in Europe. The release of the Alterative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM) directive by the European Commission (EC) includes private equity but is far from what unions wanted. Please find documents attached with the details of the proposal in English. Alternatively you can find the same documents in other languages at this EC website: http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/investment/alternative_investments_en.htm#proposal



UNI will continue to work with colleagues in the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) on lobbying for better, worker friendly regulation for private equity. The directive will now move to the European Parliament and Council for consideration.
