🚀 Europe, it’s time to scale. We are introducing EU Inc.: 🔸 Start a company in less than 48 hours 🔸 Fully online and borderless 🔸 No minimum capital requirement To compete globally, Europe needs speed, scale, and strength. This is how we get there. Find out more: https://link.europa.eu/98NtPw

@EUCommissionLife isn't supposed to be competition. It is supposed to be for living. No matter how much we "compete", prosperity is denied us. You don't win the game of capitalism by playing it.tldr: eat the rich.

@EUCommission a decade ago, I started a company one Sunday evening in the UK: about to go to bed, I thought I'd take a look at the documentation requirements, so I could start collecting them. Twenty minutes and £20 later, I was a CEO. No capital requirements.

@EUCommission @can So if there are no minimum capital requirements, you can’t sue for damages? With old school German GmbHs you at least knew that the company had 20.000€

@EUCommission That small outer left gear, that is Germany killing two innovative industries - and with that destroying hundreds of thousands of jobs - for the sake of an ancient technology - which is also dying and destroying hundreds of thousands of jobs.The Altmeier/Reiche-Effect.

@EUCommission Finally! Please tell me it's gonna be a regulation not a directive... because otherwise it doesn't solve anything.

@EUCommissionNice 👍A question: In Denmark we've had bad experiences with scammers using serial company setups to escape with money. Now there is a register of people who are not allowed to manage or own companies except with full personal liability.Are there any plans for a similar Europe-wide register?

@tdr @EUCommission I think we really face that today. When you want to expand, we have to enter 27 different markets and register 27 branches. When you are in USA or China, you need only few branches.So let's solve this.

@fersman @EUCommission The proposed EU Inc. framework misses the main concerns of most EU citizens. People are primarily affected by rising living costs, housing shortages, high energy prices, and pressure on public services and not by the legal complexity of setting up cross-border companies.

Hi @tdr, a good administration is capable of doing more than one thing at a time. We have experts working on all kinds of issues, like keeping Europe safe from threats, and making life more affordable for people who live here. Just last week, we put forward some initiatives to boost investment in homegrown clean energy solutions, increase resilience and lower energy bills for our citizens. You can read more about it here: https://link.europa.eu/vc4M4x

The EU has already introduced similar instruments, such as the European Company (SE) and the European Cooperative Society (SCE). These were meant to simplify cross-border business, yet their practical impact has remained limited. The reason is simple: the real obstacles are different tax systems, labor laws, and administrative practices and they still exist and are not fundamentally addressed by EU Inc. (2/4)

In reality, the proposal mainly benefits startups, investors, and larger companies seeking easier expansion. While faster digital registration sounds efficient, it does little to reduce the broader regulatory and economic burdens businesses face across member states. (3/4)

At the same time, the focus on corporate flexibility and investment conditions highlights a policy priority that is more aligned with capital markets than with everyday social and economic challenges. As a result, EU Inc. risks becoming another technical reform with limited real-world impact, rather than a solution to the structural issues affecting most people in the EU. (4/4)

@EUCommission Keep out frauds like the types of Elon Musk, who invent nothing but keep their failing business running with well meaning public programs that pave the way to hell.

@EUCommission As a small business owner in the tech sector I have mixed feelings about this.Making it easier to hire remote workers in different countries would be great. Also making it easier to start a business sounds good on the surface.However, I suspect these changes are being driven by VC lobbying, and I trust nothing those greedy vultures touch!Usually "more friendly business environment" is code for "easier for the oligarchs to leech off society".Don't follow the US example!

@EUCommission "compete", "scale"...L'acceleration dans le mur, la competition de tous contre tous : la deshumanisation dans les conditions de travail et le moyen de pression qu'est la menace du chômage.Charlie Chaplin movie, biographer Jeffrey Vance says "Modern Times is perhaps more meaningful now than at any time since its first release. The twentieth-century theme of the film, farsighted for its time—the struggle to eschew alienation and preserve humanity in a modern, mechanized world—profoundly reflects issues facing the twenty-first century (Wikipedia)

@EUCommission I thought Europe needs a search index and nurses... But hey, let's copy silicon valley and rob public money out to private pockets. Not sure how they will do it in this case, but they will for sure...I'm afraid this leads to more techbro solutions to problems caused by techbros.I can't help it, but I do not trust anything digital and large coming from a government that is presented under the premise of making things more convenient and beneficial for the people and economy.

@EUCommission Glad to see the EU making it easier for entrepreneurs. And very glad that you are on Mastodon! (Ignore the critics!) Here is an important article that relates directly to you.https://blog.elenarossini.com/openness-transparency-and-reach-three-reasons-why-public-institutions-should-embrace-the-fediverse/

@EUCommission Try a progressive europe-wide tax. Tax land ownership. That would boost the value of the Euro so you don't get inflation when you print Euros to pay for education, training and infrastructure projects. Yes, you can pay for a giant drone-centric military designed by the Ukrainians too...Oh, you can rewrite the copyright laws that the US wrote for you so that they got all the value from IP.Also, tax IP. You should not want your own Meta or Palantir. Those things are disasters.

@EUCommission next implement a EU merchant of record service that handles all VAT MOSS requirements for small businesses and doesn't take a 30% cut for doing so.This would really help!It would also help to dismantle some of the marketplace and platform monopolies.

@EUCommission Google is turning Android into a walled garden, suffocating projects like GrapheneOS. By locking AOSP and using Play Integrity API, they’re hijacking our hardware control under the guise of 'safety' to kill privacy-focused competition. An anti-competitive abuse that must be stopped!
