EU-bureauet's Staffan Dahllöf takes a long-form look at the EU Inc. / 28th-regime proposal, weighing the Commission's growth promises (48-hour, sub-EUR 100 registration across the EU) against critics who fear regulatory arbitrage and wage dumping reminiscent of the 2004 Services Directive. The article maps the Danish positions ahead of the upcoming trilogue.
Corporate Europe Observatory researcher Kenneth Haar argues in Arbejderen that the Commission's EU Inc. proposal (the former 28th regime) lacks safeguards against social dumping and could let firms registered in one member state bypass collective bargaining and board-representation rules in another. The piece urges Danish unions and politicians to push back during trilogue.
FH warns that the Commission's 28th-regime / EU Inc. proposal, presented on 18 March, could let companies register in member states with weaker labour protection and apply those rules to staff working in Denmark. The piece focuses on Article 4(2) and the risk of undermining Danish collective agreements.
Danish Entrepreneurs (Dansk Ivaerksaetter Forening) and Danish Tech Startups, partners of the EU Inc. coalition, publicly back the Commission's 18 March proposal as a step toward removing cross-border friction for Danish founders.
Ritzau-wire piece in Kristeligt Dagblad reports on the Commission's formal proposal for EU Inc., a single digital corporate framework letting founders register a company online in any EU member state within 48 hours. The article frames the proposal as a 28th regime designed to remove bureaucratic obstacles for entrepreneurs scaling across borders.
Danish business federation Dansk Erhverv welcomes the Commission's 28th-regime / EU Inc. proposal as a potential breakthrough for the single market, arguing it would cut costs and admin for SMEs and startups operating across borders. EU policy lead Andreas Geertsen calls an ambitious 28th regime a genuine opportunity for Denmark.
Danish law firm Hulgaard Advokater analyses the EU Inc proposal as a possible answer to the fragmentation of national company laws that holds back European startups. The piece walks Danish founders and investors through how a unified, digital, standardised EU corporate form could sit alongside the danish ApS/A/S and reduce cross-border friction for scale-ups.
The European Parliament has approved its negotiating mandate for the 28th regime / EU.inc, a new pan-EU corporate form intended to help startups scale across the single market. Danish MEP Kira Marie Peter Hansen was among the lead negotiators, and Denmark's trade union confederation FH stresses that the mandate keeps labour law as a national competence so Danish worker protections cannot be circumvented.
