EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports a single EU-wide legal framework for innovative companies that boosts competitiveness, cuts red tape, and respects national sovereignty.
Allow any innovative company, including start-ups and scale-ups, to use the single EU-wide legal framework to scale rapidly across the Single Market.
“The coexistence of 27 different national rules makes it difficult for start-ups and scale-ups to rapidly scale up their business model in the Single Market. A single, harmonised set of rules would provide legal and planning certainty, reduce administrative burdens and make Europe a more attractive location for future technologies.”

Adopt a voluntary regime that respects national sovereignty by allowing companies to choose between national law and the EU alternative.
“Since participation is optional, the national sovereignty of the Member States is respected. Companies that already run well with national law retain this option; however, growth-oriented firms will, for the first time, be given a genuine EU alternative.”

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.
