Abstract
The Draft Regulation on a European Private Company (Societas Privata Europaea, SPE), which was proposed by the EU Commission in June 2008, will soon be adopted by the Council of the European Union. The SPE will be an interesting new legal form for small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as for groups of companies. The proposed SPE law is not without problems; however, generally, it provides a sufficient level of flexibility for private companies.
