    Design the 28th Regime to standardise key features of the UK Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) model across the EU, adapting it for countries without trust law using a corporate form.

    “Few EU countries have trust law and so they must recreate the EOT model using a corporate form. This can be done, as seen in Slovenia and Denmark. The key design features of the EOT can be standardised across the EU, using the 28th Regime.”
