Directive 2014/66/EU of 15 May 2014 on the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals in the framework of an intra-corporate transfer
Directive 2014/66 of 15 May 2014 on the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals in the framework of an intra-corporate transfer has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
The directive aims to manage and facilitate the mobility of managers, specialists and trainee employees "of branches and subsidiaries of multinationals" originating from non-member countries when they are temporarily relocated for short assignments to other units within their group situated within the EU. "Facilitation of intra-corporate transfers enables multinational groups to tap their human resources best," the directive explains. It regulates 1. The "conditions of entry to, and residence for more than 90 days in, the territory of the Member States (...) of third-country nationals"; 2. Their rights and "those of their family members"; 3. The mobility of the latter within the EU. The directive specifies the criteria for admission (Article 5), such as the existence of a work contract or an assignment letter containing a certain number of details, including the duration of the transfer, the location of the host entity and even the remuneration.
