EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports a streamlined, digital-first company formation and dissolution process but wants to eliminate mandatory notary involvement and adopt a standardized model across the EU based on best-performing countries.
Eliminate the mandatory involvement of notaries in company formation and adopt a streamlined, digital-first registration process standardized across the EU, modeled on the best-performing country like Estonia.
“From Germany: please eliminate the mandatory involvement of notaries in the company formation process. The current procedure is overly bureaucratic, time-consuming, and unnecessarily expensive. Notarization adds complexity without proportional benefits in many cases, especially for standard company setups like GmbHs. Instead, the EU should standardize and adopt a streamlined, digital-first model based on the best-performing country in terms of speed and cost-efficiencybut due to the good engineering skills not Germany ;). Proposal: Choose one country with a fast, affordable, and well-functioning company formation and closure system (e.g. Estonia with its e-residency and online business registration model), and form a process to replicate that across all member states. Do not ask each country to create or redesign their own process. This will only result in fragmented, inconsistent solutions andespecially in Germanys caseanother overly engineered, expensive and rigid system.”

Ensure company dissolution is quick, affordable, and simple, allowing entrepreneurs to close companies without months of paperwork or legal fees, reflecting a full lifecycle approach.
“Additionally, its important to consider not only the ease of company formation but also the cost and simplicity of company dissolution. Entrepreneurs need a full lifecycle approach: they should be able to close companies quickly and affordably, without facing months of paperwork or legal fees.”

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.
