Judgment_paragraph 37 · MO v SM acting as liquidator of G GmbH (C-134/22)

37In the light of the purpose of forwarding information and of the fact that it occurs at a stage where the collective redundancies are merely contemplated by the employer, the action of the competent public authority is, as the Advocate General noted in point 51 of his Opinion, intended not to deal with each worker’s individual situation but to gain an overall understanding of the projected collective redundancies. The Court has, moreover, previously held that the right to information and consultation provided for in Article 2 of Directive 98/59 is intended to benefit workers as a collective group and is collective in nature (judgment of 6 July 2009, Mono Car Styling, C‑12/08, EU:C:2009:466, paragraph 42). It follows that the second subparagraph of Article 2(3) of that directive gives workers collective, not individual, protection.
