EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Opposes the EU Inc. proposal as it risks increasing letterbox companies and fraud in the construction sector and calls for its exclusion from the regulation.
Exclude the construction sector from the scope of the EU Inc. regulation to prevent risks of fraud, labour exploitation, and letterbox companies.
“EFBWW strongly call on EU legislators to ensure that the EU Inc. regime is not applicable to the construction sector.”

Do not allow fully digital, rapid company formation with minimal oversight and prohibit Member States from requiring additional safeguards such as local offices or bank accounts, as this facilitates letterbox companies and undermines enforcement.
“The Commission proposal not only fails to address the shortcomings of existing regimes but further amplifies risks by proposing faster registration (companies created digitally and fully operational across the EU within 48 hours, for less than €100, with no minimum share capital)... and by prohibiting Member States from requiring additional safeguards and checks such as: a local office or representative, a domestic bank account, additional verification, documentation, or authorisations.”

Require minimum share capital and safeguards to prevent creation of shell or letterbox companies with no genuine economic activity.
Prevent companies from freely choosing their Member State of incorporation to avoid regulatory arbitrage and letterbox companies, especially in high-risk sectors like construction.
“By allowing companies to freely choose their Member State of incorporation while operating across the Union, it risks encouraging regulatory arbitrage, enabling non-compliant operators to select the most lenient regimes and evade effective control.”
