More than ever, the freedom of expression in and out of the business is fragile. We managed to get the concept of business confidentiality is removed from Macron bill. Indeed, the concept of business secrecy reflects the fact that the right of shareholders priority over that of employees and the entire society, and calls into question the right of intervention of trade unions, the recent and fragile ecognition of launchers Alert and freedom of the press. However, a draft European directive on business confidentiality is enrolled in the agenda of the European Parliament on 28 April.
