The European Union is set to streamline business operations by replacing 27 different national systems with a single initiative. This change aims to reduce costs for companies expanding their operations across borders.
The Slovak Ministry of Justice announces the start of national-level work on the European Commission's 18 March 2026 EU Inc. proposal, the so-called 28th regime. It invites lawyers, academics and business representatives to submit input by end of April 2026 (28.rezim@justice.sk) to help shape Slovakia's position on the new pan-EU limited-liability form (48-hour digital registration, max EUR 100, zero minimum capital).
Slovak legal portal Najpravo analyses the European Commission's EU Inc. proposal as the central pillar of the 28th EU regime. It highlights how innovative firms today must navigate 27 national systems and more than 60 legal forms, and explains the EU Inc. benefits: registration within 48 hours for under EUR 100, no minimum capital, full digitalisation and a central EU registry auto-assigning tax and VAT IDs.
Europske noviny reports Commissioner Michael McGrath's remarks on the EU Inc. proposal, framing it as the response to fragmentation across 27 corporate law systems. McGrath stresses the optional regime allows online registration within 48 hours with no minimum capital, standardised digital governance and harmonised insolvency, citing consultation results in which over 85% of respondents flagged divergent national company laws as a major barrier.
Slovak law firm Hriadel-Heger & Partners explains the EU-Inc / 28th regime proposal as a voluntary alternative to national company forms (s.r.o., GmbH) rather than a replacement. The piece highlights digital-first registration via a central European registry within 48 hours and EU-wide recognition allowing operation across all member states without separate subsidiaries, while flagging concerns about employee protection and the political consensus still needed.
SME Index reports on Slovak MEPs' reactions after the European Parliament adopted its 28th-regime recommendations (492-144-28). ĽudovÃt Ódor (PS) and Martin HojsÃk (PS) welcome the proposal as a way to compete with the US and China and to keep startups in Slovakia. Branislav OndruÅ¡ (Hlas) objects that companies operating in Slovakia must remain subject to the Slovak Labour Code, warning the regime could erode national labour protections.
Startup outlet Startitup interviews Slovak MEP ĽudovÃt Ódor (PS), Parliament rapporteur on tax aspects of the 28th regime. He frames it as the EU's effort to remove the last big barriers in the single market by letting firms opt into one harmonised ruleset instead of navigating 27 national rulebooks, with particular benefits for SMEs and faster cross-border expansion.
Slovak free-market think tank INESS publishes a position paper on the planned 28th regime, recognising benefits (digital registration, lower entry barriers, easier cross-border operations, pressure on member states to modernise) but warning of major implementation risks: unclear tax treatment, ambiguous labour-law applicability, uncertain access to state aid, legal uncertainty around dispute resolution, and the risk of low uptake if the regime is not actually simpler than national forms.
The Slovak Ministry of Justice calls on Slovak businesses to participate in the European Commission's public consultation (deadline 30 September 2025) on the proposed 28th regime, described as a new voluntary harmonised legal framework covering corporate, labour, tax and insolvency rules for cross-border EU companies. The ministry provides an unofficial Slovak translation of the consultation questionnaire.
