| Fiscal
policies for employee share ownership |
| This
is the map of European countries encouraging employee
share ownership. In blue, the 12 European countries supporting
employee share ownership through significant fiscal incentives.
This is a minority of Member States in the European Union.
However, this minority of 12 Member States of the EU represents
the lion's share when considering European listed companies,
stock market capitalization and employee share ownership:
72% of all European listed companies, with 72% of employees,
77% of the stock market capitalization, 83% of employee
shareholders. See
details in our new publication about "Employee
Share Ownership for Building the Capital Markets Union". |

The
European Commission launched a Green Book and a public
consultation on "building a Capital Markets Union".
It is remarkable that, together with the European Federation
of Employee Share Ownership, several major organizations
representing the full range of private actors of the Capital
Markets Union converge on analysis and proposals about
employee share ownership in Europe, as:
• EuropeanIssuers
• The European Private
Equity & Venture Capital Association
• The Federation of
European Securities Exchanges
• Better Finance, the
European Federation of Investors and Financial Services
Users.
