Judgment of 20 Jul 2017law://eu/cjeu/2016/c-416-16/para_38@2026-11-10

38The Court has thus held that the fact that the transfer results from unilateral decisions of public authorities rather than from an agreement does not render Directive 2001/23 inapplicable (judgment of 29 July 2010, UGT-FSP, C‑151/09, EU:C:2010:452, paragraph 25 and the case-law cited).
