摘要

Porsche, a profitable maker of sports cars in Stuttgart, and the European Commission, guardian of the Europe Union's internal market, are unlikely allies. But both have recently renewed efforts to strip Volkswagen (vw), Europe's biggest carmaker, of the protective barriers enshrined in a law in 1960. Last October the European Court ruled that the vw law had to go. The German government, the Land of Lower Saxony and vw itself are fighting a rearguard action to keep one bit of it intact: Lower Saxony's right to veto board decisions, even though it has only 20.3% of the voting rights (the usual blocking minority is 25% under German law).rnAn amended vw law, passed by the German cabinet last month, retains the veto, which would protect the company against unpopular measures such as closing factories in Germany. That prompted the European Commission to open infringement proceedings on June 5th. Germany has two months to respond. Rather lamely, it has added a protocol to the amended law making further changes negotiable-a better prospect, perhaps, than facing fines of up to E∪D100,000 ($155,000) a day. Porsche is happy to see pressure applied to vw and the government. It has a 31% stake in vw, which it says it will raise to over 50% by the end of the year. Its plan is to bring vw under the wing of its holding company.
