The Netherlands

Article Abstract:

The Netherlands' laws and regulations regarding securities transactions reflect the belief that professional investors do not need the same protection as other investors. Therefore, registration and disclosure requirements are largely directed at sales of Dutch public securities on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange. Private transactions among Netherlands citizens are exempted from registration and disclosure requirements, as are certain EC member state transactions and certain professional investor transactions.

Switzerland

Article Abstract:

Swiss regulations of securities transactions are less precise than those of other countries due largely to the failure to distinguish between publicly and privately traded transactions. Registration and disclosure requirements do exist for both new stock issuances and securities transactions listed on the stock exchange. Foreign securities transactions are subject to regulation for the purpose of protecting the Swiss economy.
