Die Anerkennung eines Konzerninteresses im europäischen Gesellschaftsrecht

There are no regulations in the European single market that lay down the mechanisms for group governance. For this reason, the academic discussion in the field of group law is increasingly focusing on the concept of group interest. The aim is to facilitate cross-border group management through a harmonised regulatory regime. The study evaluates the current legal situation and the proposed regulations. In the process, obstacles for a transformation into national law are identified. In addition, it is shown what effect the proposals would have on the level of protection granted to creditors. The insights gained are taken into account in a novel regulatory concept for the recognition of group interest.
