EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports a harmonised and digitalised EU Inc framework but wants changes to insolvency rules and minimum capital requirements to protect creditors and investors.
Implement a fully digital registration process within 48 hours via a central portal, eliminating multiple applications and notification forms, and ensure all information is processed via this dedicated portal.
“Insurers strongly support the initiative to implement a fully digital registration process within 48 hours via a central portal, as well as the elimination of existing registration formalities, which impose additional burdens through multiple applications and notification forms submitted to potentially different offices and authorities, especially regarding cross-border activities. In this respect, Insurance Europe considers it essential that all information is processed via the dedicated central portal.”

Automatically process all other registrations and notifications required to commence company operations digitally without additional application steps.
“In addition to company registration, all other registrations and notifications required to commence the company’s operations, such as the assignment of a tax identification number, an employer number for social security purposes and business registration, should be automatically processed digitally without any additional application or registration steps.”

Introduce minimum share capital and corporate governance requirements to facilitate financing of EU Inc companies on capital markets.
“Finally, Insurance Europe is of the view that consideration should be given to minimum requirements for share capital and corporate governance, to facilitate the financing of the EU Inc. on capital markets.”

Ensure legal clarity to build trust and reinforce market confidence, particularly with respect to liability and cross-border operations.

Adopt the EU Inc as a regulation with harmonised and digitalised corporate framework to reduce administrative burdens and facilitate cross-border activity.
“Insurance Europe welcomes the European Commission (EC)’s recent proposal for a regulation on the 28th regime corporate legal framework – EU Inc - as an important step towards simplifying and accelerating the process of starting a business in the European Union. By providing a more harmonised and digitalised corporate framework, the initiative has the potential to reduce administrative burdens, facilitate cross-border activity and strengthen the attractiveness and competitiveness of the EU as a place to innovate, invest and grow.”

Exclude simplified insolvency rules for innovative start-ups from the EU Inc Regulation because they cause legal uncertainty, risk abuse against creditors, and deter investment.
Limit the EU Inc legal framework initially to positive harmonised provisions of company law and exclude insolvency harmonisation, which requires more evaluation and preparatory work.
