Judgment_paragraph 21 · Grigorios Katsikas v Angelos Konstantinidis and Uwe Skreb and Günter Schroll v PCO Stauereibetrieb Paetz & Co. Nachfolger GmbH (C-132/91, C-138/91, C-139/91)

21The Court has consistently held (see the judgment in Case 362/89 D'Urso [1991] ECR I-4105, paragraph 9) that the directive is intended to safeguard the rights of workers in the event of a change of employer by making it possible for them to continue to work for the new employer on the same conditions as those agreed with the transferor. The rules applicable in the event of a transfer of an undertaking or a business to another employer are thus intended to safeguard, to the maximum possible extent in the interests of the employees, the existing employment relationships which form part of the economic entity transferred.
