Not such a single market

Article Abstract:

Cross-border transactions in Europe give rise to legal and accounting issus due to slow progress in harmonization. The amount of information available and its quality varies across Europe, with more limits in Germany than in France and Spain. There are also variations in employment law and in pension arrangements. Tax and environmental issues are other factors to take into account. Progress on these transactions may be slow due to language difficulties and complex stockholding structures.

The European map

Article Abstract:

The United Kingdom and the Netherlands saw record numbers of management buyouts (MBOs) in 1997, and there was a record in value terms in the UK as well, though the Netherlands recorded high values in 1994. France was the biggest MBO market in mainland Europe in 1997, while Germany saw high levels of activity. Italian buyouts rose three times in value terms in 1997. Records were achieved in Sweden, Finland and Denmark, and large deals have tended to be important in Scandinavia.
