Invitation for other agents to participate in the process
From February to May of 1999 1,500
social agents from Southern Basque Country (the Spanish state) were invited to participate
in the agreement, and a few months later the same things were done with 600 agents from
Northern Basque Country (in the French state). In each case we are talking about
non-public entities (including private companies with public capital) that are provincial
or larger since the involvement process of local agents was left for the second phase for
reasons of organizational and communicational convenience. Although one third affirmative
responses were forecasted, finally 899 agents responded affirmatively, 687 in the South
and 212 in the North. The complete list of
organizations that signed the Agreement can be seen on Kontseiluas web page; as the
list below shows, they covered all areas of society:
