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.rosocietăți comercialeArticle
