EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports a 28th regime focused on REITs as a proof-of-concept but wants it limited to this subset of companies to overcome political challenges.
Focus the 28th regime on Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), a smaller subset of high-impact companies, rather than all companies.
“launching a 28th regime for a smaller subset of high-impact companies facing fewer political roadblocks could serve as a proof-of-concept for policymakers.”

Limit the 28th regime's impact on labour law by focusing on REITs, which directly employ a limited number of workers mostly in stable, high-value-added jobs.
“while REITs are at the heart of an ecosystem employing 400,000 people, they only hire 84,000 people directly, most of them in high-value-added jobs with stable contracts.”

Leverage the strict restrictions on REITs' use of debt to reduce insolvency risks and simplify insolvency discussions under the 28th regime.
“the strict restrictions on REITs use of debt should imply less sensitive insolvency discussions, as the primary stakeholders are shareholders...”

Adopt the REIT tax treatment in the 28th regime, allowing exemption from corporate income tax with taxation only on dividends to avoid double taxation.
“REIT regimes can waive corporate income tax on companies. Investors therefore only pay tax once, on their dividends, rather than incurring double taxation.”

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.
