EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Rejects the creation of a 28th company law regime as it would undermine labour protections and enable regulatory arbitrage.
Do not allow companies to choose the lowest legal requirements across Member States, as this would undermine labour law and protective rules.
“We firmly reject the idea of creating a company law system. This would allow companies to choose between the lowest legal requirements in the respective Member States, thereby deliberately circumventing labour law provisions as well as national protective rules.”

Require minimum equity capital to ensure liability limitation is not undermined and to protect against insolvency risks.
“Similarly, the limitation of liability is undermined by a lack of minimum equity capital, which has far-reaching implications in the area of insolvency, and favours regime shopping through letterbox companies.”

Prevent the disparity between registered office and administrative seat that allows elimination of employee participation rights and facilitates frivolous transactions.
“We find it particularly problematic that the disparity between the registered office and the administrative seat makes it possible to deliberately eliminate established employee participation rights. In addition, the rapid creation of company seats in any Member State opens the door to frivolous transactions, for example due to the lack of an identification and notarial check when digitally established.”

Ensure state controls in tax, social, and labour law are not hampered by abusive start-ups exploiting the new regime.
“State controls in areas such as tax, social or labour law would be significantly hampered by abusive start-ups.”
