Provisional Council Regulation on Statute for a European Foundation: Discussion

10:15 am

Ms Hanna Surmatz:

The development of a European foundation statute relates to the Single Market and EU company law. There is legislative provision to establish private European companies and we have a European co-operative statute but there is no scheme in place for public-benefit organisations.
