EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Opposes introducing an optional 28th regime because it increases legal fragmentation and complexity, creating uncertainty and practical difficulties for businesses.
Do not introduce an optional 28th regime that allows businesses to choose between multiple legal frameworks, as this increases fragmentation and complicates B2B cooperation and mergers.
“Introducing an optional 28th regime may lead to increased legal fragmentation rather than simplification. Instead of unifying the internal market, the coexistence of multiple legal regimes could result in businesses operating under different frameworks, making B2B cooperation, mergers, or partnerships even more complex.”

Avoid introducing a regime that few firms adopt, as this limits the practical benefits and reduces the value of harmonization.
“If few firms adopt the 28th regime, the overall effects are weak anyway, and the benefits of harmonization are minimal.”

Prevent consumer confusion and distrust by not introducing a new regime unfamiliar to consumers, which could harm cross-border sales.
“If consumers are unfamiliar with the 28th regime, they may distrust businesses using it, fearing lower standards or less protection. This could harm cross-border sales instead of promoting them.”

Avoid adding a new legal regime that adds an additional layer of regulation and complexity, making it harder for SMEs to understand which regime to use.
“From a legal perspective, adding a new regime introduces an additional layer of regulation, increasing overall legal complexity. SMEs may face difficulties in understanding which regime is more suitable or beneficial.”

Preserve entrepreneur-friendly national legal provisions such as simplified procedures and lower regulatory burdens instead of replacing them with a uniform regime.
“National legal systems may provide entrepreneur-friendly provisions (e.g. simplified procedures, lower regulatory burden, etc.). A uniform regime could eliminate these competitive advantages offered by more flexible or business-oriented national laws.”

Do not create a new 28th regime that overlaps with national laws and causes legal uncertainty, contradictions, and increased litigation risk.
“Unclear interactions between the 28th regime and national laws could also give rise to legal uncertainty, potential contradictions, and an increased risk of litigation.”
