Abstract

This research aims to give an interpretation to the latest changes in Moldovan civil legislation regarding branches and subsidiaries of legal entities, established on the territory of Republic of Moldova. This analysis is a comparative approach to the legislation of other countries, regarding the activity of branches, subsidiaries and groups of companies. Cross-border expansion by companies’ groups through integrated branch networks appears to be more efficient than establishing a series of legally independent entities. According to the Law no 133/2018 regarding some amendments of the Civil Code of Republic of Moldova and other legislation, for the purpose of alignment to Association Agreement, Directive 2011/35, Directive 82/891/EEC, the definitions of „branch” and „subsidiary” were reversed in Moldovan civil legislation. Those amendments establish a new perspective of how economic activities of company’s structures will be operated on the territory of Republic of Moldova.
