Reference for a preliminary ruling — Simvoulio tis Epikratias — Interpretation of Articles 1 to 4 of Council Directive 89/592/EEC of 13 November 1989 coordinating regulations on insider dealing (OJ 1989 L 334, p. 30) — Concept of possessing and making use of inside information
Operative part of the judgment
Articles 1 and 2 of Council Directive 89/592/EEC of 13 November 1989 coordinating regulations on insider dealing must be interpreted as meaning that, when the main shareholders and members of the board of directors of a company agree to effect between themselves stock-market transactions in the transferable securities of that company in order to support artificially the price of those securities, they are in possession of inside information of which they do not take advantage with full knowledge of the facts when they carry out those transactions.
