Council Regulation 2157/2001 on the Statute for a European Company (“the Regulation”) provides for the creation of a form of public limited-liability company, the Societas Europaea, known as the “SE”. It is governed by the Regulation and, in respect of matters where the Regulation so provides, by the law applying to public limited-liability companies of the Member State in which it is, or is proposed to be, registered. The Regulation, although directly applicable in the territory of the European Community, obliges Member States to make arrangements in relation to SEs which register in their territory. These arrangements are contained in the European Public Limited-Liability Company Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/2326) (“the Principal Regulations”) for Great Britain and in the European Public Limited-Liability Company Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 (S.R. (NI) 2004 No 417) (“the Northern Ireland Regulations”) for Northern Ireland.
