Summary
This own-initiative dossier concerns the application of Directive 2004/25/EC on takeover bids. The amendments emphasise upholding workers' rights throughout the takeover process, the information and consultation rights of workers' representatives, and access to legal expertise, and oppose further liberalisation of employee rights, referencing Directive 2001/23/EC on transfers of undertakings. They address the board neutrality and breakthrough rules, maintaining employment contracts, prohibiting redundancy, and a system of sanctions.
