Socius part of CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CONFERENCE 19.08.2009
The European Confederation of Directors' Associations, ecoDa, and the Slovenian Directors' Association are very pleased to announce the celebration of the Corporate Governance Conference, which will take place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on Tuesday, September 29th 2009.
Leonardo F. Peklar, chairman of Socius will moderate second Panel: The effectiveness of self-regulations - Recommendations and corporate
governance codes in the EU and SloveniaBoth the EU and Slovenia formulated the type of codes and recommendations which would hopefully effectively regulate CG issues. At European level ecoDa is preparing European CG Principles for Unlisted Companies. In April 2009 the European Commission presented two new recommendations on remuneration regimes for listed companies and financial institutions in Member States, requiring not only disclosure and decision processes but also the structure and substance of remuneration. Many EU Member States have already changed the legal basis for directors’ remuneration. How will we be able to build a system of remuneration, which will be linked to the long-term interests of a company and what will be the role of shareholders deciding on Remuneration Policy? Governance of banks and financial institutions is under great supervision and regulations. Are they well regulated in times when they play the most important role in revitalizing the economy? What are the most important issues about the role of Government in it? Slovenia is in the course of revising the CG Code as the most important autonomous legal document in the area of Corporate Governance. Many of the provisions, which were until recently in the code, and other recommendations, are included in the legislation now, the standards are rising, but our practice always brings new challenges and problems. Is the autonomous regulation by codes effective enough?
