Gore-Browne on EU Company Law offers invaluable commentary on the implementation and purpose of European Directives. It includes essential coverage on:
EU Directives governing the regulation of companies have had profound effects on how businesses operate throughout Europe. In the UK, for example, the European Company (SE), money laundering legislation and developments in cross-border insolvency have all resulted from EU initiatives.
Setting up, running and dissolving a business is never easy wherever the jurisdiction, but for EU Member States, it is complicated by the effects of EU Directives on their own law and practice. These Directives are designed to harmonise what are often complicated rules concerning company structure and accounts as well as the issues of securities, tax and insolvency.
