The ECGN and editors Fabrizio Barca and Marco Becht deserve broad praise for spearheading this extremely well-researched and detailed study of ownership and control patterns in European nations. The Control of Corporate Europe provides valuable insight into the nature and impact of ownership concentration and voting control of European companies, which is particularly important given the burgeoning interest in shareholder activism in Europe. It will be a source of enormous value to the corporate governance community for many years to come.' * Ira M. Millstein, Senior Partner, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and Chairman, World Bank/OECD Private Sector Advisory Group on Corporate Governance * 'This rigorous analysis of corporate control in Europe is thought provoking and I have no doubts that it will become a standard reference on the subject. I recommend it to anybody wanting to understand the complex issues confronting the European Union as it strives to formulate its securities market regulation, in particular the rules on corporate takeovers.' * Theodor Baums, Professor of Corporate and Banking Law, University of Frankfurt and Chairman of the German Government's Commission on Corporate Governance * 'The Control of Corporate Europe is the most in-depth study of the nuances and structure of concentrated ownership and voting control in Europe's large firms.
