   Reference for a preliminary ruling — Arios Pagos — Interpretation of Article 1(2)(d) of Council Directive 75/129/EEC of 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.
