Supporting innovative start-ups: the 28th regime

MEPs will discuss with Commissioner Michael McGrath their proposals for a “28th regime” for EU companies, in other words new harmonised rules tailored to small and medium-sized companies, startups and scaleups, designed to support innovation and competitiveness across national borders. They are expected to call for a new corporate form, the Unified European Company, that can be registered digitally within 48 hours in any EU country. Parliament will vote tomorrow at noon on a report intended to feed into a Commission proposal on the subject expected in the spring.
