Press Release: Council adopts intra-corporate transferees directive

On 13 May 2014, the Council of the European Union adopted a directive on the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals in the framework of an intra-corporate transfer. That directive would make it easier and quicker for multinational companies to temporarily assign highly skilled employees to subsidiaries situated in the EU. Moreover, the directive would facilitate mobility of intra-corporate transferees between member states during their assignments. The directive also laid down a common set of rights for intra-corporate transferees when working in the EU in order to avoid their exploitation and distortion of competition.
