Mergers of public limited liability companies. Codification
2008/0009(COD) - 29/01/2008
PURPOSE: codification of Third Directive 78/855/EEC concerning mergers of public limited liability companies.
PROPOSED ACT: Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council.
CONTENT: the purpose of this proposal is to undertake a codification of Third Council
Directive 78/855/EEC of 9 October 1978 based on Article 54(3)(g) of the Treaty concerning mergers of public limited liability companies.
The new Directive will supersede the various acts incorporated in it; it fully preserves the content of the acts and hence does no more than bring them together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.
