European shares fell on Monday, weighed down by a drop in agrochemicals group Syngenta although Deutsche Bank outperformed to surge higher after boardroom changes at the German bank, according to Reuters. The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index was flat while the euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index fell 0.2 percent. Syngenta was the worst-performing stock on the FTSEurofirst 300 index, slipping 2.1 percent after the company rejected a second takeover proposal from agrochemicals firm Monsanto . However, shares in Deutsche Bank rose 7.2 percent after the company purged its leadership on Sunday, appointing Briton John Cryan as chief executive to replace Anshu Jain just two weeks after Jain was given more power to reorganise the bank.
