As regards the ‘transfer of a part of a business’, does European Union legislation (in particular, Article 1(1)(a) and (b) of Council Directive 2001/23/EC (1) of 12 March 2001, read in conjunction with Article 3(1) thereof) preclude a rule of national law, such as that laid down in the fifth paragraph of Article 2112 of the [Italian] Civil Code, which permits the transferee to take over the employment relationships of the transferor, without the consent of the employees transferred being necessary, even where the part of the business transferred is not a functionally independent economic entity already existing before the transfer and identifiable as such by the transferor and the transferee at the time when it is transferred? |
