Establishment and registering of a new companies should be possible also much faster, some propose even within 24 hours.
Digitalisation of public live in the last years will also influence modifications of the legal framework of Company Law. Challenges in this context for companies and public authorities in the years to come might be therefore interconnected electronic business registers between states and communication with share-holders and company owners exclusively online. The workshop by PolDep C, "The Future of European Company Law", will host various independent external experts on those issues, invited to contribute to a discussion during a meeting of the committee. on Legal Affairs ( JURI) on 14 June by submitting briefing papers and to come to Brussels to engage with MEPs on the Future of European Company Law.
In the second part of the workshop "The Future of European Company Law", questions concerning "Ongoing issues in International Corporate Governance" will be discussed.
In the third part, cross-border operations like mergers, transfers and divisions will be on the agenda. As to divisions, there is still no EU level framework for cross-border divisions and companies wishing to undertake a cross-border division have to perform several operations, such as a national division and a cross-border merger. As to cross-border conversions the EP had recommended in 2012 that the EU legislator should expand the Cross-Border Mergers Directive into a real cross-border mobility directive, which covers not only cross-border mergers and cross-border divisions, but also transfers of seats.
