SELECTION OF EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVES. By way of election principles it is concluded that Employee Representatives will be elected by the Central Works Councils, respectively by the local Works Councils combined - in case no Central Works Council exists - in these European Countries, where Works Councils are institutionalized, which can be regarded as representative bodies with democratic election procedures of all, or virtually all Employees in the respective countries. These European Countries are listed in Schedule 4 hereto. In all other European Countries direct general democratic elections will be held in which all Employees in such a country as well as those Employees allocated to such European Country in conformity with the designation listed in Schedule 3, are eligible and having a vote. The Central Works Council, respectively the combined local Works Councils, in every European Country listed in Schedule 4, elect (an) Employee Representative(s) to the number of seats allocated to such country in accordance with Article 4.1 and 4.2 to represent the SLDE-company/ies active in such country. In the election process the proper balance between the various activities of the SLDE-companies and functions will be taken into account, in order to pursue an optimal representation of the entire workforce in such country. The Central Works Council (or the combined local Works Councils, as the case may be) is allowed to replace their Employee Representative(s) and elect (a) new Employee Representative(s). The local managements in every European Country which is not listed in Schedule organise at the beginning of each term of this Agreement local direct General Elections for the EWC in accordance with general democratic principles. While organising this election the local managements have to take into account (in close cooperation with each other) the allocation of seats as defined in Article 4, as well as a proper balance between the various activities of SLDE and between the SLDE- companies and functions in the respective European Country. Regarding those European Countries to which more than one (1) seat is allocated, the election processes will see to it that the elected Employee Representatives (as well as the Employees who were candidates but were not elected) are ranked, being of relevance e.g. in case of potential consequences of the re-allocation procedures. Any Employee of a SLDE-company is eligible for a seat in the EWC for his respective country, provided such Employee is employed with a SL...
