EU law does not, in principle, prevent a Member State from opposing collective redundancies in certain circumstances in the interests of the protection of workers and of employment. However, under such national legislation, which must in that case seek to reconcile and strike a fair balance between, on the one hand, the protection of workers and of employment and, on the other, employers’ freedom of establishment and their freedom to conduct a business, the legal criteria which the competent authority is to apply in order to be able to oppose projected collective redundancies cannot be formulated in general and imprecise terms. |
