Opposes
NGO · HUN

Opposes the current 28th Regime proposal because it does not create a true pan-European legal entity and will not reduce fragmentation or prevent startups from relocating outside the EU.

What they asked for

  1. Who can use it?

    Wants changes
    Call for evidence (2025) · 10 Jul 2025

    Create a truly pan-European legal entity that is harmonized across all member states rather than another national patchwork.

    “The fundamental issue is that this proposal does not create a true pan-European legal entity. Despite the branding, its not a real 28th regime. Instead of introducing a single, harmonized legal layer above the 27 national frameworks, it creates yet another legal patchwork that will behave differently in each country.”

  2. How fast can you set one up?

    Call for evidence (2025) · 10 Jul 2025

    Design a clear, optional, truly European company structure that is borderless and usable at scale by startups.

    “Instead of offering a clear, optional, truly European structure, it introduces yet another layer that still sits on top of national law. Instead of removing complexity, it relocates it.”

  3. One EU law, or 27 national ones?

    Wants changes
    Call for evidence (2025) · 10 Jul 2025

    Develop the 28th Regime in close cooperation with founders, investors, and legal experts who have operational experience to ensure it is practical and trusted by the ecosystem.

    “We urge you to pause and listen to the people who brought the original idea forward. They have the trust of the ecosystem because they are the ecosystem. If the Commission works closely with themand builds something truly usable, truly borderlessit can still be a defining moment for Europes startup future.”
