Response to Enhancing the convergence of insolvency laws

16 Mar 2023

Please find attached EIP's Position Paper EIP is an independent, self-funding association founded by European Insolvency Practitioners organizations. The creation of EIP in May 2016 was motivated by the clear belief of the various members to improve procedures efficiency. Currently EIP represents the following 15 member associations with about 4.900 individual members in 12 Member States of the European Union. EIP has intensively dealt with the proposal for a new Directive (in the following the Proposal) in six working groups consisting of representatives of EIPs national member organizations. In principle EIP welcomes the Proposal with regard to the topics Avoidance Law (Title II), Asset Tracing (Title III), Pre-pack proceedings (Title IV), Directors Duties and Liabilities (Title V) and Creditors Committee (Title VI). In contrast, EIP rejects the Proposal with regard to the special regime for winding-up of microenterprises (Title VI) and advocates sticking to, as a rule, the appointment of objective insolvency practitioners as central persons handling insolvency proceedings. The Proposal would in fact lead to the complete abolition of regimes that, in the majority of Member States, function well, in which a neutral and objective insolvency administrator plays the central role in conducting insolvency proceedings, and which essentially serve the protection of creditors interests and also generally ensure this in a cost-effective manner.
