We are not satisfied with our results in the past fiscal year. Despite the enormously challenging environment, we had expected much more from a purely operational perspective. Our performance was certainly not due to a lack of dedication on the part of your global Continental team. Quite the opposite, in fact. As they have done so often before, Continental’s employees gave their all during this chal- lenging period. On behalf of my colleagues on the Executive Board, I would like to thank all our employees for their extraordinary hard work and commitment. Nonetheless, the automotive industry is currently weathering a storm, the effects of which will continue to be felt for years to come. Since 2018, a major production and sales crisis has been unfolding across global markets. In- stead of around 94 million passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, fewer than 89 million vehicles were manufactured worldwide in 2019. This year we are expecting a further decline, which is likely to be exacerbated by the effects of the coronavirus. As a result, production figures will fall for a third successive year. We do not antic- ipate a significant improvement in global production in the next five years, which is why we have revised our as- sumptions for the medium-term market development accordingly. Unresolved trade conflicts, drastically more stringent emission regulations in Europe and the rapidly developing digitalization of business processes and prod- ucts are also creating turbulence. All adjustments required as a result are now being made in parallel: reorganizing structures, reducing capacities, reducing or ceasing production, realigning portfolios, expanding staff training and accelerating the transition to new technologies. Backed by our strategy and strength, we have what it takes to suc- cessfully shape and spearhead the current transformation.

Donald∗ ABSTRACT This Article identifies several common errors that occur in comparative law analyses, offers guidelines to help avoid such errors, and provides a framework for studying the company laws of three major jurisdictions. Part I discusses some of the problems that can arise in comparative law and offers a few points of caution that can be useful for practical, theoretical and legislative comparative law. Part II examines well-known examples of comparative analysis gone astray in order to demonstrate the utility of heeding the outlined points of caution. Part III provides an example of using functional definitions to demarcate the topic “company law,” offering an “effects” test to determine whether a given provision of law should be considered as functionally part of the rules that govern the core characteristics of companies.
