EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Opposes the proposal as it removes important preventive oversight, fails to address real barriers like tax and labour law fragmentation, and risks legal uncertainty and increased costs.
Limit the EU Inc. form to companies with demonstrable cross-border activities to prevent domestic abuse and fraud risks.
“Limit the scope to companies with demonstrable cross-border activities and so serving the single market objective without exposing the form to domestic abuse and enhancing the risk of fraud.”

Keep preventive controls such as identity verification, legality checks, and AML compliance digitally and within a competitive timeframe, building on existing national one-stop shops and BRIS framework rather than creating parallel EU interfaces.
Maintain preventive controls on capital transactions and company formation to ensure legality and prevent fraud, avoiding a shift to costly ex post litigation.
“Company formation under EU Inc. would take place without the obligatory involvement of any legal professional and within a timeframe that is not fit to perform any meaningful verification of identity, legal capacity, AML compliance or the legality of the underlying transaction. This is not a procedural detail, but a risk to the mechanism through which the integrity of the information in the company register is guaranteed throughout the lifecycle of the company.”

Avoid creating parallel systems that bypass preventive controls and risk legal uncertainty; build on existing frameworks and ensure proper oversight.
“The proposal is presented as simplification, but instead of removing bureaucracy it mostly removes public oversight. Company formation under EU Inc. would take place without the obligatory involvement of any legal professional and within a timeframe that is not fit to perform any meaningful verification of identity, legal capacity, AML compliance or the legality of the underlying transaction.”

Adopt Article 352 TFEU as the legal basis to ensure full parliamentary involvement, legal certainty, and compatibility with CJEU jurisprudence on supranational company forms.
“Adopt Article 352 TFEU as the legal basis, ensuring full parliamentary involvement and compatibility with CJEU jurisprudence on supranational company forms. Unanimity should not be an obstacle for a proposal in the context of an overall policy goal all Member States support, namely enhancing competitiveness.”
