Corporate Law - a Commentary

The purpose of the European directives on corporate law
is to enable businesses to be set up anywhere in the EU,
to provide protection for shareholders and other parties
with a particular interest in companies, to make business
more efficient and competitive, and to encourage
businesses based in different EU countries to cooperate
with each other.
The new Commentary on Corporate Law provides an
in-depth expert analysis of all legal issues concerning the
setting up and several other main issues covered by EU
corporate law. With a view to offering recommendation
for practical applications, the book covers, article-by-article,
the following European directives:
