The text includes a comprehensive overview of horizontal groups and joint ventures, detailing practical experiences and legal frameworks across Europe. It begins with a foreword and tables of contents for both volumes. The first chapter discusses horizontal groups and joint ventures in Europe, presenting concepts and realities. The second chapter examines groups of companies within major European legal systems, including insights from Germany, France, Belgium, England, Switzerland, and Scandinavian law. The third chapter focuses on groups of companies under European Community law, offering a critical examination of European projects and a practitioner's perspective on group accounts related to the proposed Seventh EEC Directive. The fourth chapter addresses multinational groups, covering topics such as banking, labor law, and taxation, alongside the administrative oversight of multinational banks and critiques of unitary taxation. The annexes include a discussion report from a colloquium on multinational corporations and relevant legal provisions from various countries, including Germany, France, and Sweden. The text concludes with a list of abbreviations, a table of cases and enterprises, and an index, providing a structured and detailed resource for understanding the complexities of company groups in European law.

This book provides a welcome insight into the changes to the financial regulatory system in the EU, including consideration of their likely impact on financial institutions and the implementation of the new rules in a cross-border context.

Während Unternehmensgruppen in Westeuropa Gegenstand intensiver, auch rechtsvergleichender Forschung und lebhafter rechtspolitischer Diskussionen sind, lassen sich Kenntnisse über Unternehmensgruppen in mittel- und osteuropäischen Ländern häufig nur mit beträchtlichem Aufwand und bisher nur für einzelne Länder gewinnen. Wie entstehen und verhalten sich Unternehmensgruppen in diesen Transformationsländern? Führende Wissenschaftler aus Mittel-, Ost- und Westeuropa untersuchen dies aus rechtlicher und ökonomischer Sicht. Dieser Band enthält die Beiträge eines Symposions, das 2000 in Hamburg stattfand, und die dort erarbeiteten Vorschläge unter Berücksichtigung zwischenzeitlicher Rechtsänderungen.

This book is a new edition of a book previously published by de Gruyter. Like the previous editions, this third edition features the full text of every piece of adopted European legislation affecting companies and the financial sector, including directives, regulations, reccommendations andother relevant instruments. It is divided into sections on banking law, capital movement, company law, consumer protection, enterprise law, insurance law and securities regulation.The purpose of this text is to offer an easily accessible, properly organized and updated collection of all European Instruments that have been enacted in the above fields. Both in legal practice and in academia the need often arises to consult European legislation with the knowledge that it isup-to-date and consolidated. This edition is made even more valuable by the inclusion of section-by-section case commentaries on almost all of the relevant European Court of justice cases and many rulings from national courts, thus providing a useful guide to interpretation of the variousinstruments.

Progressing European integration calls for an instrument to serve the European public good. The European Commission is already preparing for the future framework of not-for-profit organizations. The European Foundation Project aims at developing the legislative draft for the legal form of a European Foundation. This form is designed to provide donors with an alternative to the national legal forms available in EU member states. To this end, a team of top-level experts in comparative law from all around Europe has been commissioned by the Bertelsmann Stiftung, the Compagnia di San Paolo, and the Zeit-Stiftung Ebelin and Gerd Bucerius to provide basic feasibility research and develop a proposal for the legal form of a European Foundation. This volume presents both the resulting draft and detailed explanatory memoranda. In doing so, the editors hope to lay the ground work for policy and advocacy initiatives in the foundation sector.

Dieser Sammelband enthält dreizehn Aufsätze und geht auf eine deutsch-griechische Konferenz des Max-Planck-Instituts für ausländisches und internationales Privatrecht zurück. Gegenstand der Beiträge ist die aktuelle nationale und internationale Entwicklung auf einzelnen Feldern des Gesellschafts-, Handelsvertreter-, Kartell-, Aktien- und Kapitalmarkrechts sowie im Recht des Verbraucherschutzes, wobei sowohl auf Aspekte des materiellen Rechts als auch des Verfahrensrechts eingegangen wird. Entsprechend dem Titel wird die Vielzahl der Themen im Lichte der Europäisierung betrachtet. Dabei wird neben der Einbeziehung der jüngsten europäischen Rechtsprechung und Gesetzgebung vor allem rechtsvergleichend untersucht, wie die europäischen Vorgaben in den Mitgliedstaaten umgesetzt werden und welche Konsequenzen daraus folgen. Im Mittelpunkt dieser Untersuchung stehen dabei die Rechtsordnungen Deutschlands und Griechenlands.
