EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Rejects the EU Inc. proposal because it undermines participation rights, labour standards, and social protections while promoting harmful regulatory competition.
Maintain notarial control and other safeguards to prevent misuse such as shell companies, money laundering, and abusive corporate structures.
“The fully digital fast start-up and the widespread absence of notarial control weaken key safeguards in company law.”

Ensure independent European guarantees of employee participation rights that cannot be circumvented by relocating company seats.
“The draft does not contain an independent European guarantee of participation rights, but links it solely to the company’s registered office.”

Include binding protection rules in the regulation to safeguard national labour laws and prevent social dumping.
“While the Commission states in the recitals that national labour law should remain unaffected, binding protection rules are completely missing from the actual text of the Regulation.”

Prevent separation of statutory and administrative seats to avoid companies relocating to Member States with weaker participation regimes.
“EU Inc. explicitly allows for the separation of the statutory and administrative seat. This allows companies to deliberately relocate to Member States with weak or no participation regimes.”

Use a legal basis that respects democratic requirements and properly addresses labour and social law issues instead of Article 114 TFEU.
“The Commission bases EU Inc. on Article 114 TFEU, although the draft deeply interferes with labour and social law issues. This circumvents stricter democratic requirements and voting procedures.”

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.
