Abstract
The paper describes the regulation of shareholder voting in the countries forming the European Union. The focus is on four points: How easy or how difficult is informed voting made in the various systems? Is voting by proxies permitted, and if so, in what forms and under what restrictions? What duties do institutional investors have with respect to voting the shares they hold in their portfolios?
