Ensure EU company law reforms respect the principle of proportionality and remove mandatory gatekeeping by professions like notaries, making their involvement optional to comply with EU law and promote competitiveness.
“Any mention of notaries and such gatekeepers should be totally banned, unless to explicitly state that they become optional. It is important for the EU Commission to understand that its loyalty to treaties should be superior to its loyalty to red tape lobbies like notaries.”

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.
