Oh absolutely but to not have these protections would be a employees nightmare.
Some EU countries go well beyond the directives, especially with employees rights and data protection - try backing up Belgian employee information on a US server or generating employee identifiable metrics in Germany and see how far you get! It tends to be that the countries with the best union/works council representation have the strictest regulations - you can get away with much more in the UK than Germany for example.
