GAZETTE
DECEMBER 1980
in the event of transfers of undertakings. In view of the
degree of protection afforded by this directive and the
short space of time that has elapsed since it was adopted,
the present directive reaffirms the existing protection by
referring to the previous legislation. The directive also
governs the grounds and detailed procedures for
rendering mergers void; such nullity may only be ordered
under certain conditions. The directive also applies in the
case of merger by the formation of a new company.
The Council of Ministers in adopting this directive
thought that it might also progress negotiations on a
convention, currently being prepared by an intergovern-
mental group of experts, on mergers between public
limited liability companies of different member states.
The directive is expected to have only a limited effect
on existing merger practice in Ireland.
