Exercising Voice Across Borders
Since the passage of the 2005 EU Directive on cross-border mergers of limited liability companies, mergers between firms based in different countries have become an increasingly important form of corporate reorganisation in Europe. These mergers have great significance for workers' rights to information, consultation and participation. A new book written and edited by Jan Cremers (TLS) and Sigurt Vitols (WZB-Berlin) contains the results of a study of workers' rights to information, consultation and participation in EU and national law covering cross-border mergers. Based on an analysis of available statistics, nine national legal regimes and seven case studies, the authors argue that the provisions for workers' rights under the Directive are inadequate, both during the merger procedure and in the new post-merger entity. It remains to be seen whether the deficits identified in the study can be successfully addressed by the implementation of the EU Company Law Package, a new legislative initiative regulating different types of cross-border reorganisations.
Trattato delle società - Tomo I
Il Tomo I del Trattato delle Società è composto da quattro parti: introduzione generale del diritto societario, il tema si apre con un autorevole saggio comparatistico, nel quale si mettono in risalto le più recenti tendenze evolutive che, negli ordinamenti più vicini al nostro, hanno investito lo stesso “paradigma” societario; “temi generali”, ovverosia quegli istituti o quei segmenti di disciplina riferibili a tutti i “tipi” societari; impatto delle nuove tecnologie sul diritto delle società; i tipi delle società di persone. Il taglio dell’opera è quello della trattazione di alto profilo scientifico, assicurata dalla autorevolezza accademica o istituzionale dei diversi Autori, non disgiunta da una marcata sensibilità per le ricadute pratiche, garantita anche dalla completezza dei riferimenti giurisprudenziali e dall’uso di modalità grafiche che agevolano la lettura. Della stessa Collana altri 3 tomi dedicati alle società per azioni (Tomo II), alle società in accomandita per azioni, alle s.r.l. e agli istituti comuni alle società di capitoli (Tomo III) e infine ai diversi “statuti normativi speciali” (dalle quotate, alle società del sistema bancario e finanziario, fino a tutte le ormai numerosissime figure di diritto speciale o singolare) e alle cooperative (Tomo IV). Ciascun tomo, pur autonomo, è parte di un’Opera “omnia” che, per la sua completezza, per la metodologia adottata e per l’autorevolezza degli Autori, ci si augura possa divenire un punto di riferimento per quanti in futuro (non necessariamente prossimo) saranno chiamati a confrontarsi con la materia.

Globalization and market integration have shaped the economic climate in such a way as to give rise to a considerable increase in cross-border mergers, acquisitions and corporate restructurings. However, the primary European Union (EU) legislation in this area – the Acquired Rights Directive – brings about only partial and minimum harmonization, giving rise to differences in the employee protective regime across the EU Member States. This book, the rst full analysis of the EU-level private international law implications of the subject, masterfully addresses the plethora of questions that arise and presents well-considered and soundly based recommendations towards the introduction of a new and uniform con ict of laws path for transfers of undertakings throughout the EU. With a methodology that combines comparative, ‘black letter’, legal historical and empirical approaches, the author addresses such issues and topics as the following: – determination of applicable law both upon and after a transfer; – jurisdictional issues; – the main provisions of the Acquired Rights Directive and their content; – the main differences existing among the relevant laws of the Member States; – special characteristics of the maritime sector and seagoing workers; and – cross-border implications of Brexit. This book critically evaluates the existing rules on international jurisdiction and the con ict of laws relating to cross-border transfers of undertakings, clearly exposing the regime’s merits and demerits. Counsel representing any actor involved in a cross-border merger, acquisition, or business restructuring – transferor, transferee, or affected employees – will be well served with this exemplary account of their legal position both before and after the transfer. In addition, policymakers, legislators and interested academics will bene t greatly from the author’s clearly presented guidelines on the development of an EU-wide con ict of laws regime for transfers of undertakings.
