Sažetak
Many of the European countries have undergone changes in their corporate governance system recently. We use a comparative law approach to analyze and compare some of the important corporate governance issues in three of the European countries: France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. In our analysis we focus specifically on the rules applying to the board structures, role of the boards, and liability of their members. There are still significant differences in company laws of the individual EU member states. However, as expected, there is a clear trend towards convergence in the treatment of corporate governance issues. In the paper we discuss the possible effects of different legal provisions and the recent law reforms in these countries. We also discuss the role and impact of the EC company law directives and regulations on national company laws. The goal of this paper is to determine the current corporate governance challenges facing the European countries observed.
