   Adds extensive recitals and articles on pre-pack proceedings, directors' duties, and microenterprise winding-up, altering the directive's scope and obligations. Strengthens creditors' committee provisions, including workers' representation, information sharing, and confidentiality, and adds supporting measures for SMEs. Modifies avoidance action rules, including exemptions for social security payments and netting, and presumption of knowledge for closely related parties. Enhances cross-border access for insolvency practitioners to registers, courts, and beneficial ownership information, and shortens notification deadlines. The remaining changes are formal or wording updates, including punctuation, cross-references, and terminology alignment.
