EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Proposes reframing the 28th regime as a regulatory sandbox to enable experimentation with innovative business models under EU oversight.
Design the 28th regime as a regulatory sandbox at the EU level that allows firms to test innovative business models and ownership structures under common oversight, generating evidence for policymaking and reducing fragmentation.
“this contribution proposes to reframe the 28th regime as a regulatory sandbox: a structured, EU-level environment in which firms can test innovative business models and ownership structures under common oversight.”

Balance flexibility in governance and finance with safeguards to protect shareholders, creditors, and respect national law, using EU-level templates for comparability and credibility.
“A sandbox could combine these insights: broad contractual freedom for firms to experiment with governance and ownership, paired with EU-level templates to ensure comparability and credibility. Yet flexibility must be balanced with safeguards. Without them, shareholders may fear dilution of their rights, creditors may face greater uncertainty, and Member States may resist what they perceive as encroachment on national law.”
