The essential new information service for business lawyers in Europe

EUROPEAN BUSINESS LAW REVIEW Published by Graham & Trotman/Martinus Nijhoff

Editor: Susan Nicholas Consulting Editor: Laurence Gormley

First published in September 1990, this important new monthly journal is already being recognised by business lawyers throughout Europe, as the essential source of practical information on the legal aspects of doing business in Europe.

European Business Law Review provides its readers with authoritative, practical and succinct coverage of key developments in European business law not only within the European Community but also in EFTA countries and the countries of Eastern Europe. While business law development within individual countries is carefully monitored, the primary emphasis of the journal is on reporting and interpreting issues of transnational legal significance within Europe.

"The emphasis in this Review on business throughout Europe, East and West, North and South, reflects the widespread interest in European developments and the international dimension of business law, covering the economic and social aspects of legal activity as well as the more traditional commercial aspects."

From the Foreword to the first issue by The Rt. Hon. Sir Leon Brittan QC,

Vice-President of the Commission of the European Communities

Introduction Volumes 1 & 2 MAJOR COMPANIES OF EUROPE 1991192, Volume 1, contains useful information on over 4000 of the top companies in the European Community, excluding the UK, over 1100 companies of which are covered in Volume 2. Volume 3 covers over 1300 of the top companies within Western Europe but outside the European Community. Altogether the three volumes of MAJOR COMPANIES OF EUROPE now provide in authoritative detail, vital information on over 6500 of the largest companies in Western Europe.

MAJOR COMPANIES OF EUROPE 1991/92, Volumes 1 & 2 contain many of the largest companies in the world. The area covered by these volumes, the European Community, represents a rich consumer market of over 320 million people. Over one third of the world's imports and exports are channelled through the EC. The Community represents the world's largest integrated market.

It is, therefore, appropriate that an authoritative reference work should exist giving details of the largest companies in each of the twelve member states of the European Community.

The companies listed have been selected on the grounds of the size of their sales volume or balance sheet and their importance to the business environment of the country in which they are based. European subsidiaries of certain multinationals have also been included. The information published about each company is intended to provide a convenient descriptive reference in succinct form which will be useful to businessmen not only within the European Community but in many other countries as well.

MAJOR COMPANIES OF EUROPE 1991/92, Volumes 1 & 2 are the result of an extensive and careful research operation in each of the twelve countries. The publishers would like to express their thanks to all those firms which provided information about themselves for inclusion in this book.

The criteria for inclusion of a MAJOR COMPANY in Volumes 1 to 3 is as follows: Banks with assets over £1 billion. Insurance companies with premium income over £200 million. Industrial and commercial companies with sales over £90 million.

Graham & Trotman, a member of the Kluwer Academic Publishers Group is one of Europe's leading publishers of business information, and publishes company reference annuals on other parts of the world as follows:

MEDIUM COMPANIES OF EUROPE MAJOR COMPANIES OF THE ARAB WORLD MAJOR COMPANIES OF THE FAR EAST &

AUSTRALASIA MAJOR BUSINESS ORGANISATIONS OF EASTERN

Volume 3 MAJOR COMPANIES OF EUROPE Volume 3 is an essential companion volume to Volumes 1 & 2, and covers all major companies in Western Europe outside the EC.

Usage of the Index For example: This book has been arranged to allow the reader to locate the

company entries in three ways. ADE Engineering appears before Aden Engineering but after ACE Engineering

Firstly the Contents page at the front of the book lists the countries which are covered in the book and the pages on which they can be found.

Thirdly three cross-referenced indexes are situated at the end of the book.

a) An alphabetical listing of all companies included.

Secondly the companies are listed alphabetically within each country, allowing any particular company to be located quickly. As for many readers English may be a second or third language the alphabetic ordering used is a strict one and arranged as though the name including initials is one word.

b) An alphabetical listing of the companies included in each country section

Widely regarded as the leading reference work in its field

CORPORATE ACQUISITIONS & MERGERS

VOLUME 1: UNITED KINGDOM VOLUME 2: EUROPEAN COMMUNITY

Written and edited by Peter F C Begg, Corporate Acquisitions & Mergers has become firmly established as a major source of information on the subject. The work is published in looseleaf format and was expanded to two volumes in 1990 to cover not only the United Kingdom but also the other Member States of the European Community.

Volume One, now firmly established as a leading publication in its subject area, concentrates on both the legal and financial implications of acquisitions and mergers within the UK. Its lucid and systematic approach has won acclaim from professional users and businessmen alike.

Volume Two, covering the other Member States of the European Community, begins with a detailed study of the EEC Merger Regulation which, from September 1990, subjected transactions above a certain size to supranational merger control. It goes on to study the key legal and financial parameters in each Member State, following a broadly consistent format in each case and in line with that of Volume One. The objective is to provide an overview of the key M&A issues for each Member State, enabling businessmen and their advisers to formulate the questions on which detailed advice will be needed.

UPDATING SUPPLEMENTS To enable subscribers to keep fully up-to-date with significant developments and opportunities in the field of corporate acquisitions and mergers, four Updating Supplements will be issued in 1991. These will provide practical and succinct coverage of new trends and changes in key areas, including the following: tax planning, operation of the City Code, pensions, property issues, and UK and European merger control practice.

Corporate Acquisitions & Mergers is published by Graham & Trotman and is currently available, priced at £206.00 including four Supplements for 1991.

Full details of this important publication are available from: Graham & Trotman Ltd, Sterling House, 66 Wilton Road, London SWIV IDE.
