For the calculation of the employee majorities mentioned in the first and second paragraphs of Article L. 2372-4, each member holding a seat on the special negotiating body allocated to a Member State represents a number of employees equal to the total number of employees employed in the participating companies, subsidiaries and establishments located in that Member State, divided by the number of seats allocated to that Member State, rounded down to the nearest whole number.
When Article L. 2372-3 is applied insofar as it refers to the provisions of Article L. 2352-4, the holder of each additional seat represents a number of employees equal to the workforce of the company to which that seat has been allocated. The total number of employees calculated, for the Member State in which this company is located, in accordance with the first paragraph, is then reduced by this number of employees.
