Abstract/Description:

Recently, suspension of voting rights has been introduced in the European Union through Directive 2013/50/EU. According to the amended Transparency Directive, this sanction should be available to the relevant authorities in the Member States in case of infringements of the duty to notify major sharehold¬ings. The reason for introducing this sanction is that it is considered a particu¬larly effective sanction by the Commission. This raises the question why, and for which type of infringements, this sanction is effective. These questions will be analysed further in this chapter.
