Operative part of the order

The principle of non-discrimination, implemented by Article 49 TFEU, must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation under which a company, established in a Member State other than that in which the company which it controls is established, cannot be held jointly and severally liable for that latter company’s debts resulting from an employment contract.
