The Group Works Council meets at least once a year and is convened by its Chairman.
The agenda for the meeting is drawn up by the Chairman and the Secretary and communicated to the members at least fifteen days before the meeting.
Time spent by staff representatives at meetings of the Group Works Council is paid as working time.
The use of videoconferencing to convene a Group Works Council meeting may be authorised by agreement between the Chairman and the employee representatives sitting on the Council. In the absence of an agreement, such use is limited to three meetings per calendar year. A decree determines the conditions under which the group works council may, in this context, proceed to a secret ballot.
