Abstract: The Amended Shareholders’ Rights Directive adopted in 2017 pushed the regulation of related party transactions high up on the Member States’ legislative agenda. The Directive requires binding rules addressing related party transactions in listed companies. This article takes a closer look at the discussions and negotiations in the EU institutions leading up to the Directive adopted and ends with some reflections on the EU legislative process, drawing on my decades long ministerial experience of negotiating and implementing EU legislation in the field of company law, including this one.
