HomeStudy on minority shareholders protection
Final report
Publication metadata
The Study is designed to assist the European Commission DG Justice and Consumers in assessing the EU approach to and policy on minority shareholder protection. The Study includes a thorough analysis and assessment of every Member State’s legal framework as it relates to minority shareholder protection, and it focuses on all the main categories of minority shareholder rights, namely economic, control (decision making), information, litigation, and equal treatment rights. It strives to enable policymakers to obtain a clearer picture of Member States’ hard laws (such as laws, regulations, other legal acts, and listing rules), soft laws (such as corporate governance codes) and established case law with respect to minority shareholder protection. It identifies any gaps, inconsistencies and incompatibilities in the legal frameworks of all the Member States, especially ones that may influence cross-border investment and the further development of the Single Market. It also provides input for the Commission’s ongoing work on monitoring corporate governance developments in the EU.
