http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/emcc/

 

Eurofound’s ERM database on restructuring related legal regulations provides information on about 300 regulations in the Member States of the European Union and Norway which are explicitly or implicitly linked to anticipating and managing change.

The regulations are described in terms of their content, thresholds, involved actors and who covers the cost (if applicable). The aim is to provide an easy possibility of a cross-national comparison of the main features of restructuring related legislation
