Amendment 32 #
Michael DETJEN, Elena GENTILE, Agnes JONGERIUS, Georgi PIRINSKI, Edouard MARTIN
Proposal for a directive
Recital 7 a (new)
(7a) The concept of establishment within the meaning of the Treaty provisions on freedom of establishment involves the actual pursuit of an economic activity through a fixed establishment in the host Member State for an indefinite period and it presupposes the pursuit of genuine economic activity there. It is therefore appropriate to ensure that the company carrying out the cross-border conversion or the merging companies, in case of a cross-border merger, are required to demonstrate on the basis of ascertainable objective factors, to have a fixed establishment and to pursuit genuine and substantial economic activity in the destination Member State for an indefinite period. In order to combat abuses and to avoid the use of cross- border company restructuring processes to create artificial arrangements, it is also necessary to ensure that the companies resulting from cross-border conversions or cross-border mergers have their head office in the destination Member State.
