The 🇪🇺 wake up call. @EUCO launched the “One Europe One Market” plan to finally unify the 🇪🇺Single Market. Overcoming fragmentation, scaling up, boosting Fifth Freedom, creating the 28th regime as main missions for a more competitive Europe. Good move. @DelorsInstitute @iespega
The new EU Inc - how it works and what's still missing 🇪🇺 3 days ago, the EU tabled its long-discussed proposal for a “28th regime” — a new optional company form: EU Inc. → Europe still has 27 different company law systems → A major barrier for startups scaling across the Single Market → A core theme of the Draghi & Letta reports and the EU competitiveness agenda What is EU Inc.? → An optional EU-wide corporate form → A single rulebook you can opt into instead of national regimes → Still anchored in a Member State (not a fully separate EU system) Registration / setup → Fully digital (no paper, no physical presence) → Via EU interface (BRIS) or national registers → 48h incorporation (with templates), max €100 → 5 working days with custom statutes → “Once-only” principle: data reused across tax, VAT, etc. Governance → Board structure (at least 1 EU-resident director) → Fully digital governance (online meetings, e-voting) → Harmonised duties, liability, conflict rules → Minority shareholder protections (incl. exit rights) Shares & fundraising (key for startups) → Fully digital shares (no paper, no notaries required) → Free transfer of shares across borders → Flexible share classes (incl. multiple voting rights) → No minimum capital (can be €0) → No nominal value shares by default → Designed to support SAFEs, convertibles, warrants Employee stock options (big one) → New EU-wide ESO regime → Taxation only at sale of shares (not grant/vesting/exercise) → Aimed at fixing Europe’s “dry tax” problem Cross-border scaling → Branches & subsidiaries set up digitally EU-wide → Company data shared automatically via BRIS → EU Company Certificate + digital power of attorney → No re-submission of the same info across countries So what’s the catch? (key criticism from the startups) → Core areas still national: tax, labour, insolvency -> this won't change anytime soon → Not a fully unified EU company code → Disputes in countries remain with national courts (no EU-level system) -> probably the main point of criticism at the moment What’s next? → Parliament + Member States negotiations starting now → Political deal targeted by end of 2026 → Likely application ~2028 (after entry into force + 12 months) Bottom line: One of the most ambitious EU steps in history toward a real Single Market for companies. Not yet “one rulebook” across the board - but a big step in the right direction. Pushback from usual interest groups will be significant, so outcome and final shape remain tbd. The history of similar proposals such as the Societas Europaea in 2004 shows how tough it is to crack that nut. But Fingers crossed. Congrats for this initial success to long-time supporters like @euinc_petition @euacc @euacchq. Keep pushing!

„Mary Khan (AfD) sagt uns, dass ihre Fraktion erstmals mit der EVP einen Gesetzesvorschlag ins EU-Parlament eingebracht habe. Der EVP-Mann Bellamy bestätigt das Ganze.“ Brandmauer? Der Podcast „Inside #AfD“ bringt Manfred Weber in Erklärungsnot. youtu.be/Dcrui2vnJ9g?si…
German conservative and EPP chief Manfred Weber has insisted the “firewall” against the AfD holds in the European Parliament. But a WhatsApp group and a meeting cast doubt on that claim nordot.app/14056268590959…
Wenn man versucht, politische Probleme mit rechtsextremen Parteien zu lösen, die sich von der liberalen Demokratie lösen - löst man dann nicht einen demokratischen Grundkonsens mit auf? @EPPGroup muss ihre Whatsapp-Kooperation mit 🇪🇺-Feinden dringend stoppen! #PoEWatchesEU
Best reflection on Habermas's death (and its poignant timing, given the backdrop of events) has to be this by @GeorgDiez1. "The European" georgdiez.substack.com/p/der-europaer
A timely reminder that social progress doesn’t come easy. The idea of half the population not being allowed to vote might sound bizarre now but was reality until embarrassingly recently.
Since 1956, Viktor Orbán is the first to invite the Russians into our country. We demand an immediate end to foreign interference in the Hungarian elections. According to information from multiple sources, agents of the Russian military intelligence service (GRU) arrived in Budapest weeks ago with the aim of influencing the outcome of the Hungarian elections. They previously did the same in Moldova. It is utterly unprecedented that a government on the brink of collapse is attempting to influence the Hungarian elections through foreign interference in its own interests.

It is utterly unprecedented that a government on the brink of collapse is attempting to influence Hungarian elections through foreign interference in its own interests. I call on @PM_ViktorOrban to put an immediate stop to this and to order the expulsion of Russian intelligence agents operating in Hungary under diplomatic cover. I demand the immediate convening of the National Security Committee and that I be informed about this matter. As the prospective head of government, I also demand immediate information on what intelligence the Hungarian government has received from the services of allied countries regarding Russian interference, and why it has not taken action so far in response to this unprecedented Russian activity. Hungary needs leadership that does not expose our homeland to threats from the East, whether from Putin or from Zelenskyy. The national interest is for Hungary to remain a stable, predictable, and reliable partner for its allies. Our country’s security and sovereignty are strengthened by these alliance systems and by responsible, predictable foreign policy. Viktor Orbán’s desperate actions weaken them. This year we mark the 70th anniversary of 1956. Hungarians will not stand idly by while Viktor Orbán invites the Russians back into our country. Every Hungarian who loves their country must go out and vote on April 12 so that Orbán and the Russians can see the will of the Hungarian people even from the Moon. Long live a free, independent, European Hungary!

Peter Sloterdijk, le philosophe allemand le plus décapant d’aujourd’hui décortique, la tentation impériale en vogue et maintient son idée d’une Europe post-héroïque, qui doit être capable de défendre sa douceur de vivre et sa pratique de la liberté. ➡️ l.lepoint.fr/9ZX Par @C_Ono_dit_Biot
