"Mr President, I very much appreciate what Ms Regner has done and support her call. The legislative initiative on the issue of the transfer of company seats is very necessary. Freedom of entrepreneurship is important, but if a company seat is transferred without also moving the other activities of the company to the new location at the same time, unfair practices are usually at work. In most cases, this is an attempt to avoid tax obligations or to circumvent labour law in the home country. The creation of so-called mailbox companies, with which we also have experience in the EU Member States, is certainly an undesirable phenomenon that needs to be addressed. Of course, legislation should be able to discern and should not prevent honest companies from changing location if necessary and provided there is a legitimate reason. A good control mechanism promoted by our grouping is to involve company employees in decision making on the cross-border transfer of company seats, for example, through their effective participation in the boards of companies."@en1
