Start-ups: "We have delivered": EU Commissioner Zaharieva calls on Merz to support new legal form
The EU wants to simplify the process of starting a business with a new legal form, but Germany is concerned about worker protection. In an interview, the Commissioner for Start-ups applies pressure.
The European Commission has proposed a new law, "EU Inc.," to simplify company formation in the EU, allowing entrepreneurs to set up a business quickly and digitally with minimal bureaucracy. EU Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva is urging member states not to water down the proposal, warning that a weakened version could render it useless to entrepreneurs.
The new law aims to provide legal certainty across all member states and make it easier for companies to grow and expand globally. Zaharieva also addressed concerns about social protection and workers' rights, assuring that the new law would not compromise EU standards. Over 26,000 supporters have signed a letter calling on lawmakers to preserve the Commission's proposal.
