Ioannis Platis, Centre of International and European Economic Law Competition Law analyzes Implications of Minority Shareholdings: The EU and U.S. Perspectives.

ABSTRACT: Analysis of minority shareholdings on the basis of all relevant EU Competition Law branches (101 TFEU, 102 TFEU, EUMR) and comparative review of the latter with partial share acquisitions treatment under the U.S. antitrust rules. This paper delivers an opportune presentation of the relation between Competition Law and structural links between undertakings in the form of minority shareholdings, only a very short time before EU Competition Law is enhanced with formal legislation on minority interests.
