MALTA - extreme wonder at the meeting of the European Federation of Investors at actions taken by financial intermediaries and the by-ways of the capital market in Slovenia, again under the false pretense of a European regulation, which no other EU countr
Until the end of the week, Malta will be hosting the annual meeting of the European Federation of Investors and Financial Services Users (Better Finance), which began yesterday with the meeting of the Legal Committee of Better Finance. At the latter, the PanSlovenian Investors’ & Shareholders’ Association (VZMD) President, Mr. Kristjan Verbič, was kindly asked to present the conditions and ramifications of inclusion of the Slovenian Central Securities Clearing Corporation (KDD) into the T2S Settlement Platform. Exactly this is about to incur new and disproportionate costs for shareholders, which, according to the assurances of the relevant Slovenian decision-makers, supervisors and financial industry, is recognized throughout Europe, but which is obviously not true. Each and everymember of the Legal Committee of Better Finance (reputable legal experts from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Spain and Sweden) was extremely shocked to hear about the conditions and circumstances regarding minority shareholders in Slovenia, and they were especially surprised at the practices regarding the compensations for the dividend payout, of which they first heard from Mr. Verbič.
THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY - in Slovenia, financial intermediaries became beneficiaries of dividends instead of (minority) shareholders - the VZMD has appealed for the additional Authentic interpretation of the Act due to the renewed circumvention of the law,
After the PanSlovenian Investors' & Shareholders' Association (VZMD), upon adoption of the altered Act on book-entry securities (ZNVP-1), made persistent and informed efforts to point out to the adverse effects of abolishing free-of-charge registry accounts of the securities belonging to natural persons, over the past few months, the association has come to the conclusion that “in fact there is an outbreak of extortionate practices conducted by the financial industry, with which the dividend payout turned into transactions which do not imply any income for the minority shareholders, but net expenses, despite being treated as an income in all property calculations and exercise of social rights. To regulate untenable, unlawful and detrimental actions, we have addressed an appeal to the National Assembly for an additional Authentic interpretation of the Act”, was how Mr. Kristjan Verbič remarked on the letter to legislator.
BETTER FINANCE representative selected by the European Commission to advise on the implementation of Shareholders’ Rights Directive – LIMITING THE ROLE OF INTERMEDIARIES and facilitating direct interaction between companies and their shareholders
The European Federation of Investors and Financial Services Users (Better Finance), whose active member is also the PanSlovenian Investors' & Shareholders' Association (VZMD), announced that Ms. Christiane Hölz will represent Better Finance and their German member organization DSW at the Commission Expert Group on Technical Aspects of Corporate Governance Processes. The group consists of 12 members and was set up by Commission’s Directorate-General for Justice and Consumers ("DG JUST) at the European Commission.

THE RULE OF LAW?! – 2 months after the deadline to eliminate the unconstitutionality, a year after the ruling by the European Court of Justice and searches of premises by the National Bureau of Investigation, 3.5 years after scandalous expropriations and
The VZMD (PanSlovenian Investors' & Shareholders' Association) warns that one year after the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg had issued the ruling and two months past the deadline, by which the authorities and the legislators were bound to eliminate the unconstitutional restriction of rights to effective judicial relief of wiped out investors in Slovenian banks, there is simply no indication that this would occur within a reasonable time. Why do the authorities in the Republic of Slovenia keep dragging their feet? Are they really planning on shifting the burden of the defendant to the Republic of Slovenia and thus additionally encumbering all citizens and compelling the entire system of government to defend the illegal actions of the responsible persons at the Bank of Slovenia?!
