</div>But, there are individual governance in each member state (ie Germany, Denmark) which does differ on some areas.<br></div>Therefore, it is not only EU regulations, but also Country regulations/laws that needs to be adressed.<br>
</div>In Denmark, there indeed is liabilty for Directors, they could be jailed for serious issues. Same for Board directors.<br><br></div>I really think this needs to be adressed and for sure is something to consider for anyone wanting to be Director/Founder.<br>
<br></div>There is a study on this, located here.<br><a href="http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/company/docs/board/2013-study-analysis_en.pdf">http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/company/docs/board/2013-study-analysis_en.pdf</a><br>

<br>
Topic (Discussion on moving Hildon Foundation to a german e.V.):<br>
<br>
- Win7Mac has consulted a lawyer on the responsibilities of directors of an E.v. and the extents of liability. It seems that directors are "only liable for damage by gross negligence and intent" so there propably is no need for an extra insurance for the directors. There was some general talk over liability, and juiceme asked if there is any possibility that in EU there could be similar threat of litigation that Woody was fearing could happen to HiFo in US. General consensus seems to be that it is not likely.<br>
<br>
- chem|st asked if Win7Mac will take care of the "Nokia" statements all over the website, and check that there are no unappropriate binaries in repositories.<br>
<br>
- Win7Mac presented the work-on-progress for the changing of names/terms in the legal documentation on the website:<br>
