Are EWCs really informed and consulted in a timely fashion about transnational matters? A great many case studies have taught us about the context, conditions and evolutions of European information and consultation, but a general picture of the whole population of EWCs is still lacking. Using a large scale survey of over 1500 EWC representatives, we provide insight in the overall quality of information and consultation in EWCs and what factors are related to better (and worse) EWC performance.
