Both co-legislators are working toward the European Council's end-2026 political agreement target.

The next critical milestone is the June 26 presentation of Parliament's draft report, followed by the July 17 amendment deadline – these will define Parliament's negotiating position heading into the second half of 2026.

The 28th Regime Progress Tracker (citing Council agenda CM-3040/26)
[Overview]

What is EU Inc?

EU Inc (also called the 28th regime or S.EU) is a new pan-European company form proposed by the European Commission on March 18, 2026. It creates a single legal framework that lets entrepreneurs register one company and operate across all 27 EU member states – without needing separate entities in each country.

[Context]

Why does it matter?

Today, a startup expanding from Sweden to Germany needs a new legal entity, a local notary, and months of paperwork. EU Inc is supposed to cut that down to one optional EU framework, one ruleset, and a much simpler cross-border setup. It is the EU's clearest answer yet to the Delaware pull on European founders.
