EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports a uniform EU company form but wants it implemented as a regulation with online registration under 2 days, no notary involvement, streamlined cross-border hiring, and uniform stock option taxation.
Allow incorporation completely online, costing less than 500 EUR, and completed in less than 2 business days without requiring a notary.
“Incorporating a business should require less than 500 EUR and be done completely online with the registration complete in less than 2 business days. Requiring the involvement of a notary in 2025 is absolutely insane if our goal is to actually reform our system and set us up for success long term.”

Establish uniform taxation of stock options for startup employees across the EU, with no tax upon vesting and capital gains tax only on exercise and sale.
“Stock options taxation for startup employees should be uniform in the entire EU block regardless of the country in which an employee have their fiscal residence. No tax upon vesting and capital gain tax only when the stock options are exercised and the shares are sold.”

Enable European companies to hire employees across the EU without needing a local legal entity or using Employer of Record systems.
“Hiring employees across the EU should absolutely be better streamlined and European companies SHOULD NOT be required to have a local legal entity to hire in a given country of the EU nor be required to use an EOR system to fill the gap of the EU (eg. Rippling, Remote, Deel)”

Implement the new company regime as a regulation uniformly across all member states with no room for national interpretation.
“A directive is a "cute" step forward but let's get real, what we need is one system, standard for all with a new regime that must be implemented uniformly across all 27 member states with no room open to national interpretation.”

Open source underneath
WhoShapedIt is a thin layer on open-source packages. Star them, fork them, build your own micro.
Open-source context and state for AI: it keeps only what matters for the question.
In WhoShapedIt: Reads every lobby submission and position paper and each official text, cut into passages, and judges each passage against nine questions (who can use EU Inc, workers on the board, tax…), so every ask and every step is read on the passages that address it.
Open-source Svelte components for clean, accessible interfaces.
In WhoShapedIt: The status, the timeline, the theme picker, the camps of lobbies and the organisation pages.
