The current framework of EU regulation concerning capital markets is complex and partly inconsistent in the way that it is applied in the various Member States. Through the Capital Markets Union (CMU) project the European Union is pursuing the goal of establishing a true single market for capital in Europe. Regulating EU Capital Markets Union: Fundamentals of a European Code is the first of a two-volume series proposing the codification of EU legislature as a way to establish this goal. This book analyses all existing capital markets regulation. It explains the idea of codification, looks at the added value of a European Capital Markets Code, discusses key concepts of the current regimes and...

It sure meets the challenge, offering with great expertise a comprehensive presentation of tort law in both economic and comparative perspectives.

The authors clearly show the ...
The limited liability company (GmbH) was created by the German legislature in 1892 as a company form without any historical forerunners or suggestions from comparative law. It brought about a readjustment of the relationship between the chance of profit and the liability risk. However, criticism from the jurisprudence that had not been included in the quick legislative process was also heard from the start. As early as 1892, Levin Goldschmidt expressed concern that the GmbH would replace 'principally more solid forms of company'. However, this criticism did not prevent the company form of the GmbH from being adopted in numerous European countries, or at least seriously considering its reception.
Experts from economics, finance, law, policy, and banking discuss the design and implementation of a future capital market union in Europe. The plan for further development of Europe's economic and monetary union foresees the creation of a capital market union (CMU)—a single market for capital in the entire Eurozone. The need for citizens and firms of all European countries to have access to funding, together with the pressure to improve the efficiency and risk-sharing opportunities of the financial system in general, put the CMU among the top priorities on the Eurozone's agenda. In this volume, leading academics in economics, finance, and law, along with policy makers and practitioners, d...

Auf der Grundlage des Regelungsregimes der EuErbVO entwirft Jan Henrik Weischede eine eigenstandige Qualifikationsordnung, die die Reichweite von Erb- und Gesellschaftsstatut neu bestimmt und sich gegen den vorherrschend vertretenen Vorrang des Gesellschaftsstatuts wendet. Er befasst sich mit dem EU-primarrechtlichen Hintergrund der Gesellschafternachfolge von Todes wegen und untersucht im europaischen Rechtsvergleich die Sonderregeln, die zwischen den Rechtsinstituten des Erbrechts und Prinzipien des Gesellschaftsrechts vermitteln. Unter welchen Voraussetzungen gelangen die Sonderregeln des internen Rechts auch im internationalen Sachverhalt zur Anwendung? Jan Henrik Weischede untersucht diese zentrale kollisionsrechtliche Frage und geht ihr in autonomer und primarrechtskonformer Auslegung der EuErbVO nach.
Die Suche nach den Grenzen unternehmerischer Leitungsmacht betrifft eine uralte Kernfrage des Aktienrechts und zugleich ein modernes Zentralthema der Corporate-Governance-Diskussion. Weil Unternehmensleiter auch in Deutschland nicht mehr unabhängig vom Einfluss der Kapitalmärkte agieren, liegt die wichtigste Herausforderung in der verknüpfenden Untersuchung aktien- und kapitalmarktrechtlicher Regeln und Funktionsmechanismen. Kapitalmarkttransaktionen unterliegen außerdem viel stärkerem europäischen Einfluss durch Grundfreiheiten und Harmonisierung als die innere Organisationsverfassung der Aktiengesellschaft. Nicht zuletzt treten die verschiedenen Organisationsmodelle neuerdings selbst...

Experienced practitioners from each country have brought together their experiences to improve the understanding of, and raise awareness of the benefits of, advisory boards through up-to-date and practice-oriented country reports.

The European Commission is already preparing the future framework of not-for-profit organizations which will be available to Europeans. The aim of the European Foundation Project is to develop the legislative draft for the legal form of a European Foundation. A team of experts in comparative law from across Europe, commissioned by the Bertelsmann Foundation, the Compagnia di San Paolo, and the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin and Gerd Bucerius, has undertaken feasibility research, and developed a proposal. The resulting draft legislation is clearly presented here in a way which makes it easy for the reader to locate information on specific legal issues. The draft is supported by comprehensive explanatory chapters, as well as comparative chapters on each issue which cover European countries, the USA and China. This book lays the groundwork for policy and advocacy initiatives in the European foundation and the not-for-profit sector.
