Die Kontrolle ausländischer Direktinvestitionen

This works examines the limits and possibilities of controlling foreign direct investment under European Union and German constitutional law. After outlining the formal and substantive limits of Union law, the paper examines the extent to which existing laws complie with them. Secondary law of the European Union as well as the relevant German laws are examined. A comparative analysis of U.S. investment control law is also included. These results form the basis for various proposals for the further development and improvement of investment control law in Germany and Europe. In this way, the conflict between state protection interests and the interest in the free movement of capital is resolved as gently as possible.
