I'm all up for changing the incentives and the rules, to boost European companies and encourage European investments.

However, you can't just tell someone where to invest his capital.

Let's be real: it is more likely they'll just try to penalize investing outside of EU (by extra taxes or something)...

How: DE, FR, NL, etc. company shares treated as EU company shares.

(Or correct me if I am wrong about this... but the goal is to reduce the differences between bying shares in various EU countries... that most people aren't even aware of right now.)
