2. Legal form
In France are different kinds of legal forms and Euro Disney fits under one of them.
The 5 legal forms France has are Société Anonyme (SA), Société a Responsabilité Limitée (SARL), Société en nom Collectif (SNC), Société en Commandite par Actions (SCA) and Société en Commandite Simple (SCS) (Mesnooh, 1994).

In 2001, Euro Disney had a couple of different visions. They wanted to give young people a chance to attend a training programme where they can earn a qualification to work in the Tourism Industry. Another mission they had was that they set up a new agreement, the Adapted Collective Bargaining Agreement. This means that the cast (employees) will benefit collectively from everything Euro Disney does. The third one is that Euro Disney has been employing inhabitants from the region, four-fifths or the employees comes out of the region. Furthermore they are playing a role in the development of Val d’Europe, this is a project where they want to have the Parisian region as one of the biggest economic centres, Euro Disney plays an important role in this.
