When a European Cooperative Society mentioned in article L. 2361-1 is a Community-scale undertaking or a Community-scale group of undertakings within the meaning of article L. 2341-2, title IV of this book relating to the European Works Council or to the information and consultation procedure in Community-scale undertakings is applicable neither to the European Cooperative Society nor to its subsidiaries.
By way of derogation from the first paragraph, when the special negotiation body takes the decision not to open negotiations or to close negotiations already opened, the same Title IV applies.
