§ Mr. WaddingtonIt is not possible to provide an estimate. Within the scope of the present proposals are all undertakings with subsidiary undertakings employing 100 or more within the Community or with establishments which are separate from the "decision-making centre" and at which are employed 100 or more employees. The "decision-making centre" is defined as the place where management of the particular undertaking actually performs its functions.
