Die Aktionärsrechte-Richtlinie

This work considers the most important EC directive in corporate law since the Take-Over Directive in 2002, i.e. the Directive on Shareholders' Rights and its implementation under German law. This is the first directive to substantially regulate the internal organization of a stock corporation and entails a series of fundamental problems from control issues and shareholder apathy to questions relating to a reasonable definition of the scope of application of the law of stock corporations and listed corporations.
