It is also important to note that:

  • a management board member may not at the same time be a supervisory board member in the same company, and
  • within a group of companies, a management board member of a subsidiary company cannot be a supervisory board member of the parent or holding company.

 

Further restrictions may apply to companies acting in regulated sectors, for example banking, insurance or betting services.
