Recital 81

(81) Council Regulation (EC) No 2679/98 (47) provides for a mechanism for bilateral discussions and notification of obstacles to the functioning of the internal market. In order to avoid the duplication of rules where the internal market emergency mode has been activated, that Regulation should be amended accordingly. Regulation (EC) No 2679/98 should not in any way affect the exercise of fundamental rights as recognised at Union level and in the Member States, including the right or freedom to strike or to take other action covered by the specific industrial relations systems in Member States, in accordance with national law or practice. It should also be without prejudice to the right to negotiate, to conclude collective agreements and to take collective action in accordance with national law or practice.
