    Ensure the EU Inc. form provides a truly European framework that avoids re-nationalisation and divergent national requirements that cause forum shopping and legal uncertainty.

    “Extensive reliance on national law, or amendments that introduce additional national requirements, would undermine the core rationale of the EU-Inc. initiative... divergent implementation and practical experiences... will lead companies and investors to engage in forum shopping, reducing the benefits of a European corporate form.”

    Apply simplified and efficient insolvency procedures broadly to all companies where failure causes meaningful value destruction, not only to a narrow subset of innovative startups.

    “Simplified and efficient insolvency under EU Inc. should apply wherever failure entails meaningful value destruction... not only to a narrow subset of early stage startups.”
