Like the French vigilance law, it represents a new generation of supply chain laws which impose mandatory human rights due diligence obligations. The LkSG requires enterprises to exercise a number of due diligence obligations – from conducting risk analysis to undertaking preventive measures or remedial actions. The law is based on public enforcement via a competent authority, the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA). The BAFA monitors and enforces compliance with the due diligence obligations. Non-compliant enterprises can be fined with up to 800,000 Euros and, in some cases, up to 2% of the annual turnover. Whilst the LkSG is an important step towards achieving greater corporate sustainability, it also has limitations. It was a political compromise and, as such, it does not include a new civil liability for non-compliance. Moreover, by default, it only applies to the enterprise’s own business area and its direct suppliers, whereas indirect suppliers are only included where the enterprise has substantiated knowledge that an obligation has been violated.\u0000Supply chain law, Germany, Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz, LkSG, business, human rights, home state laws, human rights due diligence, UN Guiding Principles","PeriodicalId":11843,"journal":{"name":"European Company Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42611364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Conference was held in Sweden, at Uppsala University. The CELIS Institute is an independent non-profit, non-partisan research enterprise dedicated to promoting better regulation of foreign investments in the context of security, public order, and competitiveness. It was set up in 2020 by Steffen Hindelang and J. Hillebrand Pohl, the convenors of this year’s conference, as a permanent successor to the ‘International Conference on a Common European Law on Investment Screening (CELIS)’, convened by Professor Hindelang and Andreas Moberg in 2019. The aim of CFIS 22 was to debate European investment screening on national security grounds from a strategic perspective on the theme ‘The Emerging Law of Investment Control in Europe: Screening, Sanctions and Subsidies’. CFIS was a major event which brought together, not just leading academic scholars, EU officials, national experts, diplomats, and policymakers, but also business leaders, think tankers, and representatives of the investment community and civil society, as well as the media from across Europe and beyond. The three-day event was generously funded by Riksbankens jubileumsfond, the Center for International Private Enterprise, the Swedish Institute of International Law, Datenna, Blomstein, and the Institute for Democracy Societas\u0000investment screening, foreign investments, CELIS, FDI, ESG, national security, public order, sovereign-driven investment.","PeriodicalId":11843,"journal":{"name":"European Company Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45839687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As we believe that ICD arbitration can provide redress to shareholders and improve management accountability, we criticize this approach and develop a ‘model’ for ICD arbitration that brings together (1) the corporate governance perspective, for a proper balance between the flexibility of the adoption of the arbitration clause and the protection of minority shareholders; (2) the capital markets perspective, for the disclosure to the public of relevant information in order to protect investors and build trust; and (3) the arbitration perspective, for the adoption of specific rules (a) to allow the participation of a potential great number of parties to the procedure, (b) to ensure the appointment of qualified and independent arbitrators in a typical multi-party dispute, and (c) to ensure that arbitrators may adopt conservatory and interim measures. Finally, we suggest that it might be beneficial to promote such model also at the EU level, as such benefit would be, at least, two-fold, both in terms of harmonization (or, better, level playing field) of the corporate law enforcement mechanisms and of serving the purposes to which recent EU corporate legislation seems to be leading.\u0000Corporate Arbitration, Listed Companies, Intra-Corporate Disputes","PeriodicalId":11843,"journal":{"name":"European Company Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49195250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Different Legal Concepts of ‘Seat’ and ‘Registered Office’ in Cyprus Company Law","authors":"Thomas Papadopoulos","doi":"10.54648/eucl2022022","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54648/eucl2022022","url":null,"abstract":"This article analyses the different legal concepts of ‘seat’ and ‘registered office’ in Cyprus company law. The distinction between the concepts of ‘seat’ and ‘registered office’ in Cyprus company law is very important for the definition of corporate investor in respect of the Republic of Cyprus as a contracting party in several extra-EU Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs). Although Cyprus is an incorporation theory jurisdiction with the ‘registered office’ as the connecting factor, the legal concept of ‘seat’ is also used in Cyprus company law with a different meaning than ‘registered office’. The Cyprus legislature uses explicitly the legal concept of ‘seat’ in Cyprus Companies Law (Chapter 113-Cap. 113) and is not restricted only to the legal concept of ‘registered office’. The difference between the legal concepts of ‘seat’ and ‘registered office’ in Cyprus company law is underpinned by an analysis of Cyprus Companies Law (Chapter 113-Cap. 113), where the notion of ‘seat’ appears with a different meaning than the notion of ‘registered office’, and by the distinguishing nature of Cyprus law as a mixed legal system, which combines characteristics of both common law and continental civil law. Continental law notions, such as ‘seat’, are compatible with the mixed legal system of Cyprus. This distinction between the concepts of ‘seat’ and ‘registered office’ is also supported by arguments deriving from the implementation of the European Company (Societas Europaea (SE)) Statute in Cyprus. The adoption in Cyprus company law of both legal concepts of ‘registered office’ and ‘seat’ but with different meanings is also compatible with the EU fundamental freedom of establishment (Articles 49–54 Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU)).\u0000Bilateral Investment Treaties, Cyprus company law, registered office, seat","PeriodicalId":11843,"journal":{"name":"European Company Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47012787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
