EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports a uniform EU company form to reduce costs and complexity but wants removal of unnecessary notary involvement and standardized investment documentation.
Allow any entrepreneur in the EU to open a bank account and do business across member states without needing a local legal entity.
“Why couldn't a Portuguese entrepreneur open a bank account in NL if they find a better banking service there, or want to do business locally in NL.”

Remove the requirement for notaries in company incorporation and share issuance to reduce delays and costs for entrepreneurs.
“Issuing shares to investors (whether angel investors, venture funds or other) should be a quick and streamlined process. Unfortunately notaries and other gatekeepers drag out simple processes and make a lot of money on the back of entrepreneurs.”

Lower or eliminate high minimum capital requirements like the EUR 25k in Germany to make incorporation accessible to more entrepreneurs.
“In places like Germany, you need EUR 25k to incorporate a company, which is out of reach for a large part of aspiring entrepreneurs.”

Standardize investment documentation across the EU, similar to the US SAFE, to reduce transaction costs and increase market efficiency.
“Startups would also greatly benefit from standardized documentation for investments, such as the SAFE in the US. In EU you currently have WISE, ASA, SLIP, CLA and many other instruments depending on the jurisdiction and the bargaining power of the parties involved.”

Open source underneath
WhoShapedIt is a thin layer on open-source packages. Star them, fork them, build your own micro.
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.
