Ontwerp van wet op de continuïteit van de ondernemingen

Dit wetsontwerp, dat de wet betreffende het gerechtelijk akkoord dient te vervangen, werd op de agenda van de Ministerraad van 12 januari 2007 ingeschreven. Omwille van een blijvend meningsverschil over het artikel 51 van het ontwerp inzake de rechten van de werknemers, is de goedkeuring ervan momenteel uitgesteld tot de vorming van de volgende Regering na de verkiezingen van 10 Juni 2007. (Januari 2007).
