EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports a unified EU company form but wants faster, cheaper digital incorporation, harmonized employment rules, consistent stock option taxation, and a truly binding legal framework.
Make company incorporation affordable (below 500 euros), fast (within two working days), and fully digital without requiring a notary.
“Starting a company in the EU must be affordable, fast, and entirely digital. The total cost should be below 500, with the process wrapped up within two working days. The fact that a notary is still required in 2025 makes the system feel outdated.”

Ensure startup stock options have consistent tax treatment across the EU, with taxation only on exercise and sale, not at vesting.
“Startup stock options need a consistent tax treatment across all EU countries. Employees should not face taxation at vesting. Instead, tax should only apply when options are exercised and the resulting shares are sold, at which point capital gains tax is appropriate.”

Harmonize employment frameworks so companies can hire talent anywhere in the EU directly without needing separate legal entities or relying on external Employer of Record providers.
“It should be possible to employ talent anywhere within the EU without being forced to create a separate legal entity in each member state. Companies should also not be pushed into relying on external Employer of Record (EOR) providers just to navigate these fragmented rules.”

“Whats required is a single, binding standard applied consistently across all 27 member states leaving no room for divergent national interpretations.”

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.
