Philip Cordery, "Office européen des brevets : renouer avec le dialogue social"
Philip Cordery, member of the French Parliament, has published an article about the new policy of Mr Battistelli concerning staff unions at the EPO and especially the confiscation of the Office rooms used by unions.
In his view, this decision is a severe attack against the rights of staff unions and asks the EPO administration to reconsider its decision and enter transparent and construtive dialogue with union representatives.
Until now, Mr Battistelli has refused to talk to SUEPO and rejected a conciliation procedure in Court.
