EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Opposes the 28th Regime proposal because it undermines workers' rights, national protections, and legal certainty while lacking proper legal basis.
Restrict the use of the 28th Regime to innovative start-ups rather than allowing all companies to reorganise existing group structures.
“Contrary to the alleged regulatory objective of promoting innovative start-ups, EU Inc. is available to all companies and can be used to reorganise existing group structures.”

Prevent companies from undermining workers' rights and national protection rules, and ensure binding safeguards for employee participation and collective labour law.
Reject employee share ownership schemes that do not grant voting, supervisory, and information rights and that pose risks in insolvency.
“Employee share ownership (EU-ESO) does not provide an equivalent substitute for a fair wage. In particular, it is to be rejected that the warrants from the EU-ESO do not grant employees voting, supervisory and information rights. In addition, warrants pose a significant risk to employees, as they become worthless in the event of insolvency.”

Prevent the disparity between registered office and administrative seat from overriding established employee participation rights.
“It is particularly problematic that the disparity between the registered office and the administrative seat makes it possible to deliberately override established employee participation rights.”

Use Article 352 TFEU as the legal basis requiring unanimity in the Council instead of Article 114 TFEU.
“Due to its subsidiarity, Article 114 TFEU cannot be the legal basis for the 28th Regimes. Instead, reference must be made to Article 352 TFEU, which requires unanimity in the Council.”

Maintain national insolvency standards and safeguards for creditors and employees, including involvement of an independent insolvency administrator.
“The insolvency provisions of the 28th Regimes devaluate national insolvency standards and safeguards for creditors and employees, as well as national pay protection systems. In particular, the renunciation of the involvement of an insolvency administrator who represents the interests of employees in an independent manner is unacceptable.”
