Topic outline

  • Textbook for the exam is: 

    Veil's European Capital Markes Law. 

    Here are some hints of what could be of main interest in the textbook (Veil, European capital markets law) when preparing for the final exam. You can focus on these and skip the rest of  the book (the figures refer to the contents of the book, i.e. the chapters, sub-chapters and sections etc.) : 

    - § 2 (Concept and aims of regulation) , § 7 Capital markets, § 12 I and II (Sanctions), § 13 (Insider dealing): III Concept, IV Prohibitions and VI Sanctions, § 14 Market manipulation: I, II and IV (Prohibitions) and VII (Sanctions), § 15 Short selling, § 17 Prospectus: IV Sanctions, § 19 Disclosure of inside information: I, III and V Sanctions, § 24 Takeover law, § 26 IV especially disclosure obligations on conflicts of interests.  

    Even the mentioned chapters should be read in a "structural" way: the systematic outlines (not the details) and market structures are important. And in general, the national legislations and supervisory systems can be skipped.
