EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports creating a steward-ownership option in the 28th Regime but wants legal separation of control and economic rights, asset locks, and a standardized equity-like instrument.
Allow companies to use a standardized steward-owned designation to raise awareness and provide legal certainty across the EU.
“Standardized Designation: Allow compliant companies to use a specific designation (e.g., steward-owned) for clarity.”

Create an optional EU-wide steward-ownership framework with clear legal separation of voting control from economic rights, non-transferable voting rights, and enforceable asset and profit locks.
“We advocate for a voluntary, EU-wide governance option for steward-owned companies, incorporating the following: Clear Separation: Legally separate voting control from economic rights, ensuring stewards prioritize the mission. Non-transferable Voting Rights: Implement "in-or-out" membership-like voting rights to prevent control from shifting to purely financial interests. Irrevocable Asset Lock: Establish a clear, enforceable asset lock, with cross-border conversions requiring equivalent protections.”

Introduce a standardized, subordinated 'future profit agreement' recognized EU-wide as equity or equity-replacing capital, compatible with asset and profit locks, to facilitate mission-aligned financing.
“We support a standardized "future profit agreement" that is: Subordinated: Treated as equity or equity-replacing capital for regulatory and accounting purposes. Flexible: Allows for defined principal, maturity options, and compensation via capped interest or profit participation, compatible with asset/profit locks.”

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.
