These are among the challenges the European Commission’s proposed “EU Inc.” framework, unveiled last month, aims to tackle, with plans for a standardized, pan-EU company structure or “28th Regime.” Rather than navigating distinct national systems, companies that opt in to EU Inc. can incorporate once and operate under a single set of rules.
