On 2 February, the European Parliament adopted its third resolution containing recommendations to the Commission for the adoption of a 14th company law directive on the cross-border transfer of company seats.

Already in 2006 and 2009, MEPs have called on the Commission to issue a legislative proposal which would help regulate company mobility in Europe by respecting the EU freedom of establishment while preventing the use of transfer of seats with the purpose of circumventing employees’ involvement rights.
