EU Inc.: Einfache Firmengründung könnte schwierig werden – Unternehmer schlagen Alarm
Die EU will einheitliche Regeln für Start-ups schaffen. Doch die Mitgliedsländer wollen den Kommissionsvorschlag abschwächen. In einem Brandbrief wehren sich 26.000 Gründer.
Berlin and Brussels - The European Union aims to simplify company formation across the continent through a new pan-European legal entity, "EU Inc.", in order to compete with the United States. The EU Commission proposed this legislation in March, which is currently being discussed in the EU Parliament and among Member States. The proposed legal form is intended to allow businesses to be set up within 48 hours for a cost of 100 Euros, all digitally and without the need for a notary or minimum capital.
Commission President Ursula von der Leyen (CDU) highlighted the importance of not wasting time on paperwork, which could be invested in innovation. Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) initially sent positive signals in support of the proposal. Entrepreneurs and investors welcomed the initiative. However, the initiators now warn of a potential failure and send a brand letter exclusively to the EU via the trade newspaper Handelsblatt.
