" In addition, we are very keen on protecting the investors. The best investor protection is not the same thing as the harshest set of regulations for the listed companies. No investor is served well by a regulatory framework which keeps the companies following rules rather than running a business. The best kind of investors' protection is a well balanced set of rules for the listed companies. We think we have that. AktieTorget's rules are of course a little tougher than those that the laws require and those that our competitors apply, but they are no more stringent than good companies can follow and the investors reasonbly demand.
