| Summary | In July 2002, the Netherlands NCP received a request for review by a trade union alleging that a multinational enterprise had breached the employment and industrial relations provisions of the Guidelines in the USA by closing its French affiliate. The link that the labour union made was that another affiliate of the French company in the Netherlands could use the supply chain provisions of the Guidelines to address labour issues. The Dutch NCP concluded the specific instance by deciding that the issues did not merit further examination. |
