Initiatives to actively promote compliance
The new Corporate Governance Code Monitoring Committee presented on 14 December 2009 its first report to the Ministers of Finance, Economic Affairs and Justice. Besides providing a limited report on compliance with the 2003 corporate governance code (the Tabaksblat Code) in the 2008 financial year, the Committee is presenting its work schedule for the period ahead. Next year the Committee will monitor compliance with the version of the Code modified by the Frijns Committee (the 2008 Code), which came into effect from the start of the 2009 financial year. The Committee will also take specific steps to promote compliance with the Code. You can download the press release and the executive summary of the monitoring report 2009 here.
