EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports a single EU company form but wants it to be optional, precise, flexible, and with no or symbolic minimum capital requirement.
Make the 28th regime available to all types of companies to unlock free movement and stimulate competitiveness in the Single Market.
“As to the scope of application, the 28th regime should be made available to all types of companies. Allowing all companies willing to operate and grow in the Single Market to benefit of a single legal regime would: (i) directly address and overcome the current patchwork of national regulations... (iv) stimulate competitiveness in Europe compared to other international economic places that do not have this type of unified company structure.”

Make the 28th regime optional alongside national company law, with precise Regulation limiting references to national law, use registered office as connecting factor, promote digital tools, allow creation from scratch or conversion, and enable seat transfer without dissolution.
“The 28th regime should be an optional legal instrument in addition to national company law forms. To foster legal certainty about what the 28th regime is, the Regulation should be as precise as possible to limit reference to national law... The creation of a company under the 28th regime should be possible either from scratch... Additionally, a 28th Regime company should be able to transfer its registered seat to another Member State within the Union without the need for dissolution or re-incorporation...”

Set no minimum capital requirement or reduce it to a symbolic amount, maintaining capital as an organisational rule rather than for creditor protection.
“As to the share capital, there should be no minimum capital requirement, or at least it could be reduced to a symbolic amount... However, it could be useful to maintain capital as an organisational rule rather than a means of protecting third parties.”

Use the registered office as the connecting factor for applicable law and allow transfer of registered seat within the EU without dissolution or re-incorporation.
“The connecting factor for determining the law applicable would be the registered office of the company... Additionally, a 28th Regime company should be able to transfer its registered seat to another Member State within the Union without the need for dissolution or re-incorporation, thereby ensuring the continuity of its legal personality.”

Adopt the 28th regime by Regulation to create a uniform, autonomous pan-European corporate form with self-sufficient rules and ample room for self-regulation.
“To this end, the 28th regime should be adopted by Regulation, which does not necessitate implementation in national laws, avoid discrepancies arising from transposition avoids discrepancies arising from transposition, and ultimately leads to a true autonomous pan-European corporate form.”
