Özet

Harmonisation of company law in the European Union ("the EU"), which was started in the mid-1960s, has gained a new dimension with the realisation of the European type company forms in the beginning of 2000s. There are currently three new forms: (i) Societas Europaea a public company form, (ii) Societas Cooperativa Europea a cooperative form and (iii) European Economic Interest Grouping an ordinary partnership. Societas Unius Personae, a single-member limited liability company form, is also next in line. This study aims to analyse the process of harmonization efforts in the field of company law in the EU. It will also attempt to emphasize, especially through putting an emphasis on European type company forms, the importance of positive integration on the establishment of internal market integration.
