EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports making Europe more attractive for innovative businesses but wants stronger legal safeguards and preventive controls in the proposal.
Recognise that start-ups often negotiate complex terms with sophisticated investors, so standardised solutions may not fit their needs and legal safeguards are essential.
“Particularly in the start-up sector, founders frequently negotiate with highly sophisticated venture capital investors who possess significantly greater transaction experience, bargaining power and access to specialised legal advice.”

Ensure preventive legal review and controls remain in place during company registration and share transfers to provide legal certainty and reduce future disputes.
“From a practical perspective, preventive legal review serves an important protective function. It helps founders understand the legal consequences of complex transactions before commitments are made.”

Maintain thorough scrutiny and legal safeguards around share transfers to ensure reliable ownership structures and investor confidence.
“In this vein also the approach of the proposal concerning the transfer of shares raises particular concerns. A system that emphasises speed while substantially reducing preventive controls may create uncertainty precisely where certainty is most valuable.”

Balance simplification with appropriate legal safeguards throughout the company lifecycle to ensure trustworthy legal structures that support investment.
“The proposal should therefore be revised to ensure that simplification is balanced with appropriate legal safeguards throughout the lifecycle of a company.”
