Law/Patents - Human Resources
Italian term or phrase: Accordo istitutivo/accordi istitutivi
The text is about Works Councils ('comitati aziendali' in Italian), and an 'accordo istutivo' is the agreement to set one up. At the moment I'm going for 'constituting agreements' as my translation, but would like some outside input.

Here is an example of the term in use:

'In base al nuovo testo dell’art. 6, la previsione del comitato ristretto è, ora, uno dei possibili contenuti dell’accordo istitutivo'.

formal agreement/s for setting up the works council


Explanation:
This is how I found it phrased in a page by a law firm on setting up and regulating works councils. The English tends to be more straight forward.
