    Include modern share classes (non-voting, preference, founders preferred; drag/tag; redemption), model EU venture instruments like EU-SAFE/convertible, a model shareholders’ agreement, and a standard due-diligence pack recognised EU-wide, with simple, harmonised capital changes and share transfers via board authority and digital filings.

    “It should include modern share classes, EU-wide venture instruments (e.g., model EU-SAFE/convertible), and a baseline ESOP framework with recognition and portability across borders.”

    Ensure corporate actions such as board/shareholder decisions, signatures, and filings are mutually recognised EU-wide to support cross-border growth and reduce legal fragmentation.

  4. One EU law, or 27 national ones?

    Backs it
    Call for evidence (2025) · 30 Sep 2025

    Base the legal framework on Article 352 TFEU to create a self-standing, optional, uniform EU company form via Regulation, avoiding directive-based harmonisation that risks creating 27+1 variants.

    “The legal framework should be based on Article 352 TFEU to create a self-standing EU form; avoid overloading with tax/labour harmonisation (advance those in parallel).”
