If this actually cuts red tape instead of renaming it, that’s a genuine.

Very good news.
Strengthening the EU from within by removing the remaining barriers of the single market is *at least* as important as diversifying trade and building new alliances with the rest of the world (whenever it is in the EU’s interest).
The major reform that the EU needs to address ASAP is the Capital Markets Union – “EU-Inc” / Investment Union can be seen as an intermediate step towards the ultimate goal.

*Sweats in Italian businesses* They think they’re having trouble attracting workers now?
Is this actually legit? I mean, can i just create a company without spending like 20k here in Italy? i find it too good to be true

Can we please do sth about the local language barriers to businesses and bureaucracy for EU citizens within EU? German institutions for starting and running businesses still refuse to help in anything other than highly complicated bureaucratic high level German, for example.

Who would the newly incorporated companies pay taxes to? This proposal could backfire if it gives an unfair advantage against the already established businesses…

Hey i am not good with this economic terms. Can someone Eli5?
Do they want to make a common laws and regulations framework for opening new companies thats common throughout all the eu?
>The ultimate aim is to create a new truly European company structure. We call it EU Inc., with a single and simple set of rules that will apply seamlessly all over our Union. So that business can operate across Member States much more easily. Our entrepreneurs, the innovative companies, will be able to register a company in any Member State within 48 hours – fully online. They will enjoy the same capital regime all across the EU. Ultimately, we need a system where companies can do business and raise financing seamlessly across Europe – just as easily as in uniform markets like the US or China. If we get this right – and if we move fast enough – this will not only help EU companies grow. But it will attract investment from across the world.
>Which brings me to the second focus – investment and capital. We are now building the Savings and Investment Union. We need a large-scale, deep and liquid capital market that attracts a wide range of investors. This will allow businesses to find the funding they need – including equity – at lower cost here in Europe. We have made proposals on market integration and supervision to ensure our financial market is more integrated. This covers trading, post-trading, and asset management – as well as driving innovation and making our supervisory framework more efficient. This will help ensure that capital flows where it is needed – to scaleups, to SMEs, to innovation, to industry.
>Third priority: building an interconnected and affordable energy market – a true energy union. Energy is a chokepoint – for both companies and households. Just look at the dispersion of prices across European electricity hubs. Europe needs an energy blueprint that pulls together all the parts. This is our Affordable Energy Action Plan. For example, we are investing massively in our energy security and independence, with interconnectors and grids – this is for the homegrown energies that we are trying to promote as much as possible, nuclear and renewables. To bring down prices and cut dependencies. To put an end to price volatility, manipulation and supply shock. But we now need to speed up this transition. Because homegrown, reliable, resilient and cheaper energy will drive our economic growth, deliver for Europeans and secure our independence.

Awesome, hopefully it works out. It seems crazy that it’s so hard to easily set up a SaaS company to sell across the common market.
I work for one at the minute and we’re only in 5 common market countries in a big way with a handful of clients across other member states. Even then the number of different regs you need to abide by in different countries is mad. The company started in the EU and was primarily focussed on growing here but the US has become our largest market over the last few years. There’s a few differences between states here and there but much easier to sell across the entire market.

I really hope this somehow works out, if so , I might just start my own company instead of waiting to get rehired after being hit by tech layoffs and long term unemployment. But currently the German bureaucracy I would have to go through to start a business is a scary monster to me – this idea would remove the obstacles

And how will the VAT registration be handled? Still no single EU-wide registration?

We did it EU INC bros. What started as a meme is now turning into reality. Crazy it happened so fast. I was convinced it would take us 5 years just to get in on the agenda. Thank you Trump. Your threats are working wonders for us.
Edit: for those of you who do not know, this was not proposed by an EU member state or some giant lobbying organization. It was started by a couple of citizens on social media, mainly X, and when EU start up founders and VCs got involved things became a bit more professional and it ended up at the top of the agenda of the Commission.
