Book Description
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.

Publisher: Walter de Gruyter

Languages : en
Pages : 508
Book Description
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.

The Governing Law of Companies in EU Law
Author: Justin Borg-Barthet
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1847319262
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
The manner in which the governing law of companies is determined has attracted much attention from academics and practitioners alike ever since the European Court of Justice began receiving references for preliminary rulings regarding the compatibility of protective conflict of corporate law norms with the EC Treaty provisions concerning freedom of establishment. Although recent developments have been less controversial than the ground-breaking judgment in Centros, they have not only consolidated the general thrust of liberalisation occasioned by the Court of Justice, but have added new dimensions to the regulatory landscape. These developments include amendments to the European constitutional order enshrined in the Lisbon Treaty, European legislation on cross-border mergers, the proposed statute for a European Private Company, the judgment of the Court of Justice in Cartesio and a Commission communication that contemplates the introduction of legislation on the governing law of companies. This book examines these recent developments and appraises the current law, as well as the foreseeable trajectory of the law, within a theoretical setting that addresses the socio-economic and legal-theoretical concerns associated with choices of the governing law of companies. In addition to considering the present and probable future state of EU law, the book also develops new theoretical perspectives and proposes novel solutions to long-standing dilemmas. In particular, it suggests that the use of information technology may render possible previously impossible compromises between party autonomy and the proper locus of prescriptive sovereignty.
