The European Company – or Societas Europaea (SE) – has been referred to as the “flagship of European Company Law”. This is certainly true if one considers the ambitious origins of the project. In 1970, the European Commission presented the first draft of the Statute for a European Company. A completely autonomous European legal form was intended, freely floating above the national legal forms and based solely on the sturdy branch of a purely European corporate law. The text of 1970 was, in substance, a complete code of corporate law. From the management structure to shareholders’ actions, from the law of corporate groups (Konzernrecht) to accounting law, from tax law to co-determination – every regulation required in a modern corporate law was provided for.
