Abstract
In April 2011, the European Commission launched its Green paper on the EU corporate governance framework. The purpose of this Green paper is to foster the debate regarding a diverse range of corporate governance issues. One of the issues raised by the Commission regards the functioning and the effectiveness of the so-called comply or explain-principle. Experience with this principle in the Dutch context shows that in a large majority of the cases in which a provision in a corporate governance code has not been applied, the reasons have been formulated in general terms, a disclaimer has been incorporated, or no reasons whatsoever have been provided.
