Healthcare (HC) 423 Financial Services (FS) 33 Other Operations T O T A L PART 2 SEC Members and Representation of employees interests Information and Statements from national SEC member(s) 1. My point of view (importance of SEC) 2. Reasoning for the main topic My point of view: The European representation of workers' interests in the Siemens Group is important because we want to achieve an active role in the discussion and decisions on company investments. SEC Member Name: Margherita Milite margherita.milite@siemens.com Place: Siemens SpA / Padua Profession: Clinical and scientific collaborations manager SEC-Member since May 2012 Delegated by Siemens SpA national workers council TU-membership: FIOM-CGIL 3. Expectations for European cooperation in the SEC 4. Statement: Our currently main topic at Siemens Main subject for the European SEC-Agenda Siemens 2020 Investment into innovation, future technologies, new products and in research and development * * from SEC-Survey 2014 We need future-oriented investments into innovation, future technologies, new products and in research and development. In my opinion it is the only possibility to maintain a sustainable success for Siemens, thus increasing employment opportunities in all Siemens locations in Europe as well as worldwide. A culture of innovation brings immediate advantages e.g. for attractive working conditions or synergetic cross-border integration of systems and processes. 8

9 PART 3 OVERVIEW 1. Key Facts (selected national standards) 2. Trade Unions at Siemens National systems of employees representation National systems of employees representation in AUSTRIA Key Facts Collective Bargaining Coverage 95 % Proportion of Employees in Unions 28 % Principal Level of Collective Bargaining industry Trade Unions Austria has a single trade union confederation, the ÖGB, to which 28% of all employees belong. Not affiliated to a particular party, the ÖGB nevertheless has strong political ties through its system of political groupings. Workplace Representation Employee representation in Austria is through the works councils, which by law can be set up in all workplaces with at least five employees, although in reality they are rare in smaller workplaces. They have important information and consultation rights, which amount to an effective veto in a few areas. Board-level Representation Employee representation at board level is widespread in Austria, with the works council choosing a third of the members of the supervisory board from its own ranks. Company Board Structure dualistic Election/mandating for the EWC works council Trade Unions - represented at SIEMENS Gewerkschaft der Privatangestellten-Druck, Journalismus, Papier (GPA-DJP; white collar workers; members) Produktionsgewerkschaft (PRO-GE; blue collar workers; members) Source: ETUI For more information see: PART 4 National rights and levels of representation of interests at Siemens Scope of employees representation at SIEMENS: We are responsible at the following levels: incompancompany inter- on regional level on national level Bipartite bodies (employees/employers) Representation of interests: We have legal rights and possibilities to take influence: In economic affairs (e.g. investments / R&D) Levels of participation Information Consulting Codetermination Approval requirement In personnel affairs (e.g. recruitment, dismissals temporary work) Levels of participation Information Consulting Codetermination Approval requirement In working standards (e.g. working hours, work systems) Levels of participation Information Consulting Codetermination Approval requirement Veto-Rights Veto-Rights Veto-Rights Other points to take influence: Networking with Management, Members and unions between all meetings Instruments of participation (e.g. committees, boards, regular meetings) Board Siemens AS (Norway) Part of Shareholders Law Cooperative meeting at Siemens Norway level (All Unions meet top management) National Agreement on Cooperation Cooperative meeting on Divisional levels Health, Safety and Environment meeting (National Law) In qualification and further training (skills & competences) Levels of participation Information Consulting Codetermination Approval requirement Veto-Rights 9
