FT: Brussels tries again for European takeover code




-

The plans include proposals to prevent governments from blocking takeovers, and measures to protect minority shareholders. They mark a new attempt by the Commission to launch a reform of cross-border takeover regulations since a previous attempt was blocked by the European parliament last year.
