The Council of the EU adopted its negotiating position on the proposed 28th regime (EU Inc) regulation, a new optional corporate legal framework for innovative companies. This is a key step toward a unified EU company law that could simplify cross-border incorporation and scaling for startups, though it still needs to be negotiated with Parliament before becoming law.
Campaigners for the 'EU Inc' initiative say lawmakers are undermining proposed reforms meant to create a simpler, unified EU company law regime for startups. This matters for founders hoping for an easier pan-European legal structure to incorporate and raise capital across member states.
