EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Rejects the 28th Regime proposal because it undermines workers' rights, national protections, and legal certainty, and poses risks to social responsibility and fair competition.
Restrict the new company form to innovative start-ups only, not allow all companies to use it for reorganising existing groups.
“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.”

Introduce serious company law rules on formation and control to prevent abusive creation of companies and letterbox companies, and ensure effective state controls and enforcement of labour, tax and social legislation.
“The 28th Regime favours non-transparent ownership and significantly facilitates the abusive creation of companies and letterbox companies. At the same time, state controls and enforcement of labour, tax and social legislation are significantly hampered.”

Ensure employee share ownership grants voting, supervisory and information rights, and reconsider the risks posed by warrants, especially their worthlessness in insolvency and the 24-month holding period.
“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. This problem is exacerbated by the minimum holding period of 24 months.”

Prevent the proposal from allowing companies to undermine workers’ rights and national protection rules, and ensure binding safeguards for national labour law and employee participation rights.
Use Article 352 TFEU as the legal basis instead of Article 114 TFEU, requiring unanimity in the Council.
“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 representing employees' interests.
“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.”
