Die Umsetzung der Aktionärsrechterichtlinie (2007/36/EG) in Deutschland und Europa

The objective of the shareholder’s rights directive (2007/36/EC) is to allow shareholders to effectively safeguard their interests in the company across the borders of the entire European internal market. The directive therefore establishes minimum standards for shareholders’ meetings. The preparation, the execution as well as the follow-up process of the shareholders’ meeting are substantially affected by European law. The book outlines the specific measures and compares the implementation of the provisions in Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom. The comparison of the different jurisdictions draws conclusions for theory and practice, in particular as regards the interpretation of the specific provisions.
