Betingelsen for Parlamentets hurtige vedtagelse er så, at beslutningen om et fjendtligt tilbud ikke kommer til at ligge hos aktionærerne, men hos bestyrelsen, at bestyrelsen bestemmer under hensyntagen til alle interesser, altså også arbejdstagernes, og at det nye forslag skaber et rigtigt level playing field inden for Europa, hvilket bl.a. betyder, at statsinterventioner, i form af golden shares eller andet, forbydes for at imødegå overtagelser, og at virksomheder i EU i hvert fald skal anvende de samme beskyttelsesmekanismer som virksomheder, der er etablerede i USA.
Conditions for rapid adoption by Parliament will be that the decision on a hostile bid should rest not with the shareholders but with the Board of Management, that the Board of Management should decide in the light of all interests, i.e. also those of the employees, that the new proposal creates a true "level playing field" in Europe, which means, for example, that government intervention, in the form of "golden shares" or anything else, to combat takeovers, should be banned, and that companies in the EU are allowed to maintain at any rate the same protection constructions as in the US.
