Det vigtige JURI udvalg under EU Parlamentet har netop blåstemplet store dele af EU kommissionens forslag om en opdatering af Shareholder Rights Direc- tive, som vil pålægge de enkelte EU-lande at indføre mere præcise oplysningskrav om sammenhængen mellem Pay (toplederlønninger) og Performance.
”The Legal Affairs Committee of the European Parliament (JURI), which is the committee responsible for changes in the legal requirements around company reporting, has approved new draft legislation which, among other things, aims to enhance transparency between pay and performance and improve sha- reholder engagement in listed companies,” skriver Deloitte i en meddelelse fra 10. maj 2015, hvor der også henvises til en meddelelse fra JURI udvalget.
Heri oplyses det, at ”a clause enabling shareholders to vote at least every three years on a company’s remuneration policy for directors, was backed by the committee. The policy on director’s remuneration should state clear criteria for awarding fixed and variable remuneration, including all bonuses and be- nefits, as well as the main contract terms, including details of supplementary pension or early retirement schemes, says the amended text.”
