Against this background, the Commission observes that it would be only reasonable from an economic point of view for the parent company to assume the obligations of a subsidiary towards its employees under the applicable labour law in the event of structured liquidation of the subsidiary if the parent company retains a presence in the market in question. In the present case, however, ÖIAG would, in the hypothetical insolvency scenario, fully disinvest from the aviation market in Austria.
Dans ce contexte, la Commission fait remarquer qu’il n’est que logique, d’un point de vue économique, que lors de la liquidation ordonnée d’une filiale, l’entreprise-mère qui maintient sa présence sur le marché concerné prenne en charge les obligations de la filiale envers ses salariés conformément au droit applicable.
