The Scope of the Companies’ Right of Establishment and Cross-Border Conversions After the Polbud Decision
Abstract
The CJEU in its recent Polbud judgment (25.10.2017, C-106/16) stated that a
company, transferring solely its registered office to another Member State, may
invoke the freedom of establishment against the Member State of origin, even if it does
not pursue any genuine economic activity in the host Member State. In this paper after
a brief explanation of the concept of conversion, the Court's judgments on the right of
establishment of companies is summarised. The Vale and Polbud decisions and the
effects of these decisions are explained in detail. Lastly the effects of Polbud decision
to the Commission's “Proposal for a Directive amending Directive (EU) 2017/1132
as regards cross-border conversions, mergers and divisions” is briefly analyzed.
