Medlemsstaterne bør kunne indføre nye instrumenter til beskyttelse af indehavere af kapitalandele, såsom forpligtelse til at fremsætte et delvist tilbud, såfremt tilbudsgiveren ikke erhverver kontrol med selskabet, eller pligt til at fremsætte et tilbud samtidig med, at der erhverves kontrol med selskabet.
Member States should be free to establish further instruments for the protection of the interests of the holders of securities, such as the obligation to make a partial bid where the offeror does not acquire control of the company or the obligation to announce a bid at the same time as control of the company is acquired.
