This dissertation was written as part of the LLM program in Transnational and European Commercial Law, Banking Law, Mediation and Arbitration at the International Hellenic University.
This thesis investigates the “Societas Europaea”, a relatively new supranational corporate type, which aims at the reforming and coordination of businesses located in different Member States desiring to engage in others more easily. As a corporate type, SE provides for some advantages and disadvantages which an interesting party should take really into account when it examines the possibility to convert into a SE. This study will try to be used as a delimitation and a general guideline of these two categories by analyzing specifically the strengths and weaknesses of the Regulation. Finally, proposals shall be made aiming the melioration of the institution.
At this point, an important statement must be made. This thesis will not emphasize to all characteristics of SEs, nor shall discuss Council Directive 2001/86/EC regarding employee’s participation. Bibliography on these matters is abundant. Certainty, there will be brief mentions, only if the analysis requires them.
Finally, I will like to express my gratitude to my supervisor Prof. T. Papadopoulos for his advice and guidance throughout the whole process and to Dimitra Zioga, a true companion to every step I made. This study is dedicated to her and to my mother.
