(3) The coordination of national provisions concerning the presentation and content of annual financial statements and management reports, the measurement bases, used therein and their publication in respect of certain undertakings with limited liability is of special importance for the protection of shareholders, members and third parties, in particular with regard to the rules on capital maintenance and limitations on profit distributions laid down in the Second Council Directive 77/91/EEC of 13 December 1976 on coordination of safeguards which, for the ...[+++] protection of the interests of members and others, are required by Member States of companies within the meaning of the second paragraph of Article 58 of the Treaty, in respect of the formation of public limited liability companies and the maintenance and alteration of their capital, with a view to making such safeguards equivalent.

The proposal for a directive provided for significant advances from the point of view of guaranteeing equal treatment of men and women engaged in an activity in a self-employed capacity, assisting spouses included. It sought, for example, to deal with the obstacles preventing women from taking up a self-employed occupation and to that end made provision for positive action or specific measures to enable the underrepresented sex to engage in such activity more readily. As regards the establishment of companies, Member States were called upon to take binding measures to ensure that national law would no longer rule out the possibility for ...[+++]businesses to be set up between spouses or life partners. Maternity protection was to be granted to self-employed women and assisting spouses or recognised partners (they were to be entitled to the maternity leave provided for in Directive 92/85/EEC and to an allowance at least equivalent to any sickness allowance payable under national law; and temporary replacement services were to be offered as an alternative to the allowance). Assisting spouses were to enjoy a level of social security at least equal to the provision for self-employed workers, and it was to be granted on the same terms. However, the proposal did not alter the system allowing the spouses of self-employed workers to join contribution-based schemes on a voluntary basis.

Without prejudice to the specific conditions for access to certain activities which apply equally to both sexes, Member States shall take the measures necessary to ensure that the conditions for the establishment of a company between spouses or between life partners, when recognised by national law, are not more restrictive than the conditions for the establishment of a company with other persons.
