2004
ICGN Awards
The ICGN Awards in 2004 were presented to Jaap Winter
and Claude Lamoureux.
Jaap Winter
|
|
| Jaap Winter chaired three reports produced
in the last three years that have moved forward the case
for good governance in Europe. Winter I dealt with takeover
regulations; Winter II with legal reforms for share voting
across borders; and Winter III with corporate governance
standards and company law. |
He is one of the
most important voices in governance today. The European
Commission’s Action Plan on corporate governance
is based largely on Winter’s recommendations. In
chairing the committees, Winter consulted widely and was
able to outline meaningful, milestone but pragmatic suggestions
for change.
