欧盟理事会于今年6月初正式通过了关于企业重整及再生机会促进的专门指令[DIRECTIVE (EU)
2019/1023]。全称为Directive (EU) 2019/1023 of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 20 June 2019 on preventive restructuring frameworks, on
discharge of debt and disqualifications, and on measures to increase the
efficiency of procedures concerning restructuring, insolvency and
discharge of debt, and amending Directive (EU) 2017/1132 (Directive on
restructuring and insolvency)
该指令是欧盟长达5年的努力的结果。其最核心内容包括：
-
Early warning and access to information to help debtors detect circumstances that could give rise to a
likelihood of insolvency and signal to them the need to act quickly.
-
Preventive restructuring frameworks:
debtors will have access to a preventive restructuring framework that
enables them to restructure, with a view to preventing insolvency and
ensuring their viability, thereby protecting jobs and business activity.
Those frameworks may be available also at the request of creditors and
employees' representatives.
-
Facilitating negotiations on preventive restructuring plans with the appointment, in certain cases, of a practitioner in the field of restructuring to help in drafting the plan.
-
Restructuring plans:
the new rules foresee a number of elements that must be part of a plan,
including a description of the economic situation, the affected parties
and their classes, the terms of the plans, etc.
-
Stay of individual enforcement actions:
debtors may benefit from a stay of individual enforcement actions to
support the negotiations of a restructuring plan in a preventive
restructuring framework. The initial duration of a stay of individual
enforcement actions shall be limited to a maximum period of no more than
four months.
-
Discharge of debt:
over-indebted entrepreneurs will have access to at least one procedure
that can lead to a full discharge of their debt after a maximum period
of 3 years, under the conditions set out in the directive.
上月26号的《欧盟官方公报》（Official Journal of the European Union）发布了该指令的全文正文。据悉，西班牙将成为第一个基于该指令展开国内立法活动的欧盟国家。
