What they asked for

  1. Who can use it?

    Backs it
    Feedback on the proposal (2026) · 23 Jun 2026

    Support the EU Inc. form for innovative start-ups, scale-ups, and SMEs expanding cross-border, but note limited interest for companies active only nationally.

    “Le Conseil Supérieur souscrit aux objectifs de la proposition, à savoir renforcer la compétitivité des entreprises européennes... Il reconnait également l’intérêt de disposer d’un cadre juridique plus lisible et homogène pour certaines entreprises innovantes, start-up et scale-up actives au sein de l’UE.”

    Clarify definitions and address risks of unequal competition disadvantaging SMEs operating only locally or nationally.

  2. How fast can you set one up?

    Ensure clear articulation between the EU central digital interface and existing national systems to avoid parallel systems and complexity.

    “Plutôt que de tirer parti des investissements déjà réalisés, la proposition... met en place un système parallèle... Cela risque de créer un système à deux vitesses, au détriment des dispositifs nationaux existants.”

    Address risks from shifting from preventive control to ex-post control, including court overload and legal uncertainty.

    “Le passage d’un système de contrôle préventif à un système de contrôle a posteriori est risqué... surcharge des tribunaux, sécurité juridique et fraude.”

    F A EU Inc.docx, page 6
  3. How much capital, and who protects creditors?

    Wants changes
    Feedback on the proposal (2026) · 23 Jun 2026

    Clarify founder liability and creditor protection given absence of minimum capital requirement to prevent undercapitalization and abuse.

    “La proposition de règlement ne prévoit pas de cadre harmonisé clair en matière de responsabilité des fondateurs... Une clarification s’impose afin de prévenir les risques d’abus, de sous-capitalisation et d’insécurité juridique.”

    F A EU Inc.docx, page 11
  4. How do shares and employee stock options work?

    Wants changes
    Feedback on the proposal (2026) · 23 Jun 2026

    Clarify fiscal treatment and administrative responsibilities for European employee stock option plans (EUESO) to avoid double taxation and legal uncertainty.

    “Les implications fiscales de ces plans d’options sur actions restent floues... Il s’agira en tout cas d’éviter la double imposition... Ces points devront être précisés dans les dispositions d'application.”

    F A EU Inc.docx, page 10
  5. Where can it be registered?

    Wants changes
    Feedback on the proposal (2026) · 23 Jun 2026

    Ensure effective control and enforcement of real seat or main interest criteria to prevent regulatory arbitrage and uneven application across member states.

    “Des critères tels que le siège réel ou le « centre des intérêts principaux »... nécessitent un suivi actif et transfrontalier... ce contrôle risque d’être dispersé entre de nombreuses autorités nationales... ce qui favoriserait un nivellement par le bas.”

    F A EU Inc.docx, page 6
  6. One EU law, or 27 national ones?

    Wants changes
    Feedback on the proposal (2026) · 23 Jun 2026

    Reconsider the legal basis of the regulation, as Article 114 TFEU may be insufficient and could cause legal insecurity; consider using Article 352 TFEU requiring unanimity.

    “Le recours à l’article 114 soulève donc un risque juridique non négligeable et pourrait, à terme, fragiliser la réglementation et engendrer une grande insécurité pour les sociétés EU Inc.”

    F A EU Inc.docx, page 11
  7. What about tax?

    Wants changes
    Feedback on the proposal (2026) · 23 Jun 2026

    Clarify tax implications of EU Inc., especially regarding exit taxes and harmonized taxation of employee participation, respecting member states' fiscal competences.
