EU Council backs an optional ‘EU Inc’ regime for growing companies
Published by BriefDash · · Toronto
The Council of the EU adopted its negotiating position on an optional 28th corporate-law regime for startups and scaleups. Under the proposal, an “EU Inc” could register online within two days for no more than €100 and operate across the single market. The Council added safeguards for anti-money-laundering checks, employee participation and stock options. It is not yet law; negotiations with Parliament come next.
Why it matters
A single cross-border framework could reduce incorporation friction for European startups, but its final terms still depend on the legislative negotiations.
