Reform of Corporate Governance in the EU

This article provides a critical overview of the latest spate of European Commission proposals on the reform of corporate governance in the EU. The authors suggest that most of the proposed measures are simply reactions to recent corporate governance fallouts and new legislation in the US. This article supplies evidence that the EC’s measures are in fundamental disequilibrium with the core and supporting institutions of corporate governance in the EU. The authors conclude that the EU should, rather than embark on a complex exercise in harmonisation, build on the strength of its diversity and imitate the US where it is warranted.
