Europäische Stiftung A. Rebsch German edition

The work of foundations is becoming increasingly important throughout Europe in almost all areas of society. For this reason, foundations are currently experiencing an undreamt-of revival on the national level, which has led to a variety of law reform projects which will further promote the emergence and work of foundations. The reform projects, however, are often missing a dimension that extends beyond national borders. The aim of the present work is to make a contribution towards the discussion of the introduction of the set of regulations for a European foundation in the European legal area. The possible tasks and functions of such a set of regulations and its adaptation to the European legal context are demonstrated, and suggestions for the legal form of the set of regulations are elaborated.
