Third report on corporate mobility in the EU published
The third report of the ITEM/ICGI project on ‘Cross-Border Corporate Mobility in the European Union’ has now been published. The report builds upon the earlier reporting on cross-border corporate activity and features a comprehensive country-by-country reporting to provide a fuller picture of cross-border company mobility in the EU.
This third report on Cross-Border Mobility in the European Union shows, for example, a continuously high concentration of cross-border mergers in Germany, the Netherlands and Luxembourg and a 72% increase in cross-border merger activity in the period of 2013 to 2018 compared to 2008 to 2012. Moreover, 431 cross-border seat transfers have so far been identified for the 2013 to 2018 period. This indicates continuous cross-border corporate activity, despite the lack of a regulatory framework on cross-border seat transfers in certain Member States, such as Germany or the Netherlands. This will soon change with the adoption of the Company Mobility Package amending Directive (EU) 2017/1132, which will be closely monitored.
