EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports an EU-wide harmonised legal regime for innovative companies but wants it renamed and made accessible to enlargement countries with supportive measures.
Ensure the regime is genuinely accessible to innovative companies in enlargement economies, allowing start-ups and SMEs from Western Balkans and candidate countries to participate on equal terms.
“the future harmonised regime should also be genuinely accessible to innovative companies in enlargement economies. Rules and procedures should be designed so that start-ups and SMEs from the Western Balkans and other candidate countries can participate on equal terms, rather than face obstacles arising from digital, financial or administrative gaps.”

Rename the regime to avoid tying it to a fixed number of Member States, reflecting EU's dynamic enlargement policy and inclusiveness.
“the chosen terminology (referring to the proposed EU-wide harmonised legal regime for innovative companies as the 28th regime) should NOT be retained in subsequent legislative steps. This label ties the initiative to a fixed number of Member States, which runs counter to the EUs dynamic enlargement policy”
