17 February 1975 (OJ 1975 L 48, p. 29), Article 2(4) of
Council Directive 92/56/EEC of 24 June 1992 (OJ 1992 L 245,
p. 3) and Article 4(4) of Council Directive 98/59/EC of 20 July
1998 (OJ 1998 L 225, p. 16), on the approximation of the laws
of
the Member States relating to collective redundancies —
Employer's obligation to inform and consult with the workers'
representatives — Scope of the derogating conditions governing
dismissals where activities are terminated following a judicial
decision

Operative part of the judgment

Council Directive 98/59/EC of 20 July 1998 on the approximation
of the laws of the Member States relating to collective redundancies, in
particular Article 1(1)(a),
is to be interpreted as meaning that a
production unit such as that at issue in the main proceedings comes
within the concept of ‘establishment’ for the purposes of the application
of that directive.
