Author Description

There is no free movement of companies in the EU. National authorities have been able to restrict the activities of foreign companies and it has not been possible to reincorporate under the company laws of another member state. Company law harmonization and the ECJ's case law on the right of establishment and on services has made only limited progress. This book brings together many of the best known experts on the matter for a thorough analysis of the effects of the extension of the right of establishment.
