The Luxembourg government, via ministers Margue (Justice), Delles (Economy) and Spautz (Labour), publicly backs the EU Inc. / 28th regime project as a competitiveness lever while promising social safeguards on legal certainty, fraud and anti-money-laundering. The OGBL and LCGB unions reject the framework as deregulation that would weaken labour law, collective agreements and worker representation.
Delano, Luxembourg's English-language business outlet, covers the European Commission's 18 March 2026 proposal launching EU Inc. as a single harmonised corporate framework. Companies could register in 48 hours for up to 100 euros via a digital interface, with a European Business Wallet handling cross-border filings throughout the company lifecycle.
Paperjam reports on the European Commission's formal 18 March proposal for the 28th regime, allowing companies to be created EU-wide in under 48 hours with capped fees and digital-by-default procedures. The article notes tax treatment of EU Inc. companies will be handled separately.
Justice Commissioner Michael McGrath argues in a Paperjam op-ed that EU Inc., the 28th corporate regime, will let entrepreneurs register fully online in 48 hours and operate under one set of rules rather than 27. The piece pitches the framework as a way to combine competitiveness, stability and equity for European startups.
Commissioner Michael McGrath unveiled a first directive digitising EU corporate-law procedures, presented as the opening block of the long-awaited 28th regime first floated in 2009. Paperjam highlights an estimated 400 million euros in annual savings and the goal of letting innovative companies 'think EU' from day one.
Paperjam covers the von der Leyen / Sejourne Competitiveness Compass, which formally puts the 28th regime on the EU's agenda alongside a simplification shock and an industrial energy-price plan. The optional regime is pitched as letting SMEs operate under one harmonised rulebook instead of 27 national systems.
