    2017-01-17

    In December 2013, the Bank of Slovenia adopted exceptional measures resulting in the annulment of financial instruments held by shareholders and subordinated bondholders for the purpose of burden-sharing in rescuing five Slovenian banks.1 In its decision of 19 July 2016, the European Court of Justice confirmed that such burden-sharing is not contrary to EU law; however, the Slovenian public remains divided.

    Grenzüberschreitende Kontopfändung durch die neue EU-Kontopfändungsverordnung
    2017-01-18

    „Wie komme ich an Geld, das mir ein säumiger Geschäftspartner schuldet?" Diese Frage beschäftigt viele Unternehmen täglich.

    Grundsätzlich gilt: Einen Zugriff auf das Vermögen des Schuldners bekommt der Gläubiger erst dann, wenn ein Gericht den Schuldner zur Zahlung verurteilt hat. Wann das Geld tatsächlich fließt, hängt daher von der Prozessdauer ab.

    Implications for Bank Creditors: the Latest EU Banking Reform Proposals
    2016-12-13

    The European Commission has published draft legislative proposals which would require large non-EU banking firms with EU operations to establish an intermediate holding company in the EU. The proposed rules are similar to US requirements for certain non-US banking organizations to establish an intermediate holding company in the US. This note discusses the impact of the proposals on foreign banking groups and their restructuring plans, with a particular reference to US banks. It also considers the UK’s position in light of Brexit.
