The federal government is tightening rules on the sale of significant assets and corporate governance at listed companies.

Very nice to see that, out of the Nyrstar case* the Minister of Justice is launching several legal initiatives that were also suggested by the FSMA, in order to improve the protection of minority shareholders of our companies in Belgium. While other countries have even stricter rules than what is currently proposed, it is an important step in the right direction.
