(4) Developments in the case-law have opened up new opportunities for companies in the internal market to foster economic growth, effective competition and productivity. At the same time, the objective of an internal market without internal borders for companies has also to be reconciled with other objectives of European integration, such as social protection as set out in Article 3 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and Article 9 of the TFEU, as well as the promotion of social dialogue as set out in Articles 151 and 152 of the TFEU. The rights of companies to convert, merge and divide across borders should go hand in hand, and be properly balanced, with the protection of employees, creditors and members.
