Book excerpt: Mit der Societas Privata Europaea (SPE) wird eine europäische Rechtsform eingeführt, auf die der exportorientierte Mittelstand seit vielen Jahren wartet. Die SPE kann schnell und kostengünstig für die Neugründung einer Auslandsaktivität eingesetzt werden oder durch Formwechsel aus einer nationalen Gesellschaft entstehen. Sie erlaubt außerdem die Bildung eines Netzes von ausländischen Vertriebs- und Servicegesellschaften in einer europaweit einheitlich anerkannten Rechtsform. Rechtsberater und Rechtswissenschaftler müssen für die Betrachtung der rechtlichen Einzelfragen in der SPE eine europäische Perspektive einnehmen. In dem ECFR-Sonderheft beleuchtet daher ein internationales Autorenteam die praktisch wichtigen Grundfragen der neuen Rechtsform aus wissenschaftlich vertiefter Perspektive: Gründung und Registerverfahren, anwendbares Recht, praktische Einsatzmöglichkeiten der SPE, Gläubigerschutz, innere Ordnung, Geschäftsleiterpflichten, Schutz von Minderheitengesellschaftern, Anfechtungsklagen gegen Gesellschafterbeschlüsse, Mitbestimmung der Arbeitnehmer, Steuerrecht. Die Autoren aus Dänemark, Deutschland, England, den Niederlanden, Polen und Spanien sind langjährige Spezialisten auf ihrem Gebiet und sowohl wissenschaftlich als auch praktisch ausgewiesen.

Book excerpt: This book focuses on the Proposal for a Council Regulation on the Statute for a European Private Company (Societas Privata Europaea, SPE), as put forward by the European Commission in the summer of 2008. It adds to the comments already made in the legal literature by dealing with key aspects of the SPE Proposal in an extensive way and by including, where relevant, the amendments adopted by the European Parliament in March 2009. The book contributes to the debate on the characteristics of the SPE and how this legal form can best be implemented within the context of national law. The latter is illustrated by including a Dutch perspective of the various issues dealt with. The practical approach of the various topics addressed in the book makes it useful for practitioners as well as academics. The book analyzes: the need for the SPE, the role of private international law, the main issues related to the formation of the SPE and to its shares, the expulsion and withdrawal of shareholders, the provisions concerning the capital of the SPE, the internal organization, the 'voice' rights of shareholders, the duties and liabilities of the SPE's directors , the issue of employee participation, the transfer of the registered office of the SPE, corporate restructuring mechanisms like transformations, mergers, and divisions.

This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The planned European legal form Societas Privata Europaea (SPE) is a limited liability company of a closed group of shareholders, and thus is comparable to the German GmbH. At the European-level, the SPE serves as a supplement to the European Limited Liability Company (SE), which proved to be too difficult for small and medium-sized companies for various reasons. The SPE will be introduced on the basis of a European regulation, the content of which has been largely agreed to by the member states.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently nobody doubts a significant role of corporations, being not only a primary legal and social, but also economic form of involvement of the multitude as one party in civil and business turnover traditionally presenting high risks. And it is true that, the European Union has long fixed its eyes on perspectives of its economic and political rise, which also may be stimulated by support of the cross-border activity of corporations suited to the dimensions of the Single Market. As may be read between the lines of numerous legal acts of the European Union, the dynamic and ever-increasing Single Market requires rational legal forms, models and institutions to be introduced by the relevant legal instruments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claudia Winkler uses the proposed European private limited liability company (Societas Privata Europaea - SPE) as an occasion to take a fresh and critical look at the arising notion of regulatory competition in European corporate law. The SPE is the newest attempt of the European Union to support union-wide corporate mobility of small and medium enterprises, following the liberalizing line of the ECJ’s case law from Centros to Cartesio. The author defines regulatory competition as an active competition between legislators endeavoring to provide the most efficient and attractive company law, complemented by a dynamic demand by companies in search of the most favorable corporate statute. Winkler shows why regulatory competition is still only a myth in European corporate law and concludes that even the SPE would most likely not boost such a development but rather hinder it in its entirety.

This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In twelve topical papers, written by renowned experts in distinct areas of the law, the reader will find out how private law and private international law instruments can serve public policy goals (such as the protection of the environment, product safety or services of general economic interest) and how these instruments interact with regulation in the proper sense. A must for those who want to explore the borderline if it exists between public and private law in the EU. Jules Stuyck, Leuven University, Belgium In the context of the current debate on the desirability and process of forming European private law (EPL), this book considers one fundamental question addressing its descriptive and normative dimension: does and should EPL pursue regulatory objectives beyond market integration? The editors argue that because national categories are of little help in grasping the characteristics of a multi-level regulatory system, it is necessary to link three perspectives: private law, regulation and conflict of laws. This book explores this interaction in four distinct fields: product liability, environmental protection, public utilities and e-commerce. The results show that EPL is highly regulatory and that the implications of this change have not been adequately considered by institutions and by scholars. The Regulatory Function of European Private Law will be of great interest to academics of law, as well as to private and public lawyers and European policymakers.
Download or read book Horizontal and Vertical Regulatory Competition in EU Company Law written by Martina Eckardt and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Centros decision of the European Court of Justice in 1999, the regime of corporate laws in Europe has evolved in a fundamental way. Although it is rather incomplete and imperfect, a two-level system of corporate laws has emerged. It is characterized by a considerable degree of free choice of law. This opens up the possibility of horizontal regulatory competition between the company laws of the Member States. With the draft regulation on the European Private Company (SPE) an additional legal form tailored to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is proposed. We analyse whether the introduction of such a supranational European legal form for limited liability companies can be recommended from the perspective of the economic theory of legal federalism. To this end we present a general theoretical framework for studying centralisation/harmonisation vs. decentralisation of legal rules and regulations in regard to company laws within the European Union. Our analysis of the empirical evidence on horizontal regulatory competition as well as on the advantages and problems of the introduction of such an additional legal form for SMEs shows clearly that it might render many benefits without considerable disadvantages when compared with the existing situation of only horizontal competition between the legal forms of the Member States.

Download or read book European Comparative Company Law written by Mads Andenas and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-30 with total page 649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Company law is undergoing fundamental change in Europe. All European countries have undertaken extensive reform of their company legislation. Domestic reform has traditionally been driven by corporate failures or scandals. Initiatives to make corporate governance more effective are a feature of recent European law reform, as are measures to simplify and ease burdens on smaller and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). An increasing EU harmonisation is taking place through the Company Law Directives, and the free movement of companies is also facilitated by the case law of the European Court of Justice on the directives and the right to free movement and establishment in the EC Treaty. New European corporate forms such as the European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG) and the European Company (SE) have added new dimensions. At a time of rapid development of EU and national company laws, this book will aid the understanding of an emerging discipline.

Download or read book Protecting Creditors and Investors Capital Maintenance in the European Private Company written by Johannes Meyer-Myklestad and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of this article is the regulation of capital maintenance in the European Private Company (SPE) proposed in the European Union. The primary reference for the article is the Proposal for a Council Regulation on the Statute for a European Private Company (COM (2008) 396) and its chapter IV on Capital. The article seeks to analyse the capital regime that an SPE will be subject to. The article is organized in three separate parts. Part I introduces its subject and focus in addition to setting up a set of success criteria for the legislation. Part II goes on to handle the different types of capital maintenance provisions, using use-cases and research on the SPE for each category, with an analysis of the SPE provisions' compatibility with their purpose and criteria of success. Finally, Part III goes on to analyze the regulation of capital as a whole, discussing its appropriateness. If adopted, the legislation on a European Private Company will look very different from the initial Commission proposal. This article will also cover the proposed amendments of the European Parliament. Finally it considers various proposed amendments in the Council's Working Party on Company Law, with a particular focus on the negotiations that have taken place during autumn of 2009. In handling particular SPE provisions, separate mention will be made of the Commission's proposal, the European Parliament amendments and the currently negotiated Working Party proposals. The information provided on the negotiations within the Working Party is based on public documents, e-mail and phone correspondence and several interviews conducted during autumn 2009. In order to capture the essence of the SPE's capital regulation and understand how it might play out on a continent with various other company forms, this article will employ use-cases depicting different European countries' capital maintenance legislation. The use-cases will show the corresponding provisions of the SPEs that are employed in given Member States. The chosen use-case company legislations regulate private limited liability companies like the SPE. They represent different legal directions and some of them are among the most widely used company forms in Europe. Additionally, a use-case of the 2nd Council Directive is employed.
Download or read book The Protection of Creditors of a European Private Company SPE written by Mathias Siems and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soon we can expect a new type of company: the European Private Company (Societas Privata Europaea - SPE) aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises in the EU. In this article, we analyse how creditors of future SPEs will be protected. In the first part, we identify on a general level how creditors can be protected. Then, we turn to the tools used in the different draft versions of an SPE statute (Commission Draft, EP Draft, Presidency Compromise). As these do not cover all aspects of creditor protection, the next part examines how these gaps ought to be filled. Subsequently, we discuss whether, from a normative perspective, creditor protection in the EU should be further harmonised. Overall, we conclude that what emerges is a mixed picture between various levels of European and national rules. This may not be ideal but it may be the price worth paying in order to reach political agreement on SPE law.

This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global finance is in the middle of a radical transformation fueled by innovative financial technologies. The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the digitization of retail financial services in Europe. Institutional interest and digital asset markets are also growing blurring the boundaries between the token economy and traditional finance. Blockchain, AI, quantum computing and decentralised finance (DeFI) are setting the stage for a global battle of business models and philosophies. The post-Brexit EU cannot afford to ignore the promise of digital finance. But the Union is struggling to keep pace with global innovation hubs, particularly when it comes to experimenting with new digital forms of capital raising. Calibrating the EU digital finance strategy is a balancing act that requires a deep understanding of the factors driving the transformation, be they legal, cultural, political or economic, as well as their many implications. The same FinTech inventions that use AI, machine learning and big data to facilitate access to credit may also establish invisible barriers that further social, racial and religious exclusion. The way digital finance actors source, use, and record information presents countless consumer protection concerns. The EU’s strategic response has been years in the making and, finally, in September 2020 the Commission released a Digital Finance Package. This special issue collects contributions from leading scholars who scrutinize the challenges digital finance presents for the EU internal market and financial market regulation from multiple public policy perspectives. Author contributions adopt a critical yet constructive and solutions-oriented approach. They aim to provide policy-relevant research and ideas shedding light on the complexities of the digital finance promise. They also offer solid proposals for reform of EU financial services law.
