28th regime
 | This article needs more citations. (May 2020) |
28th regimes (proposed terms: EU Inc.,[1] Societas Europaea Unificata (S.EU)[2]) are proposed legal frameworks of European Union rules which do not replace member states' own national rules but are an optional alternative to them.[3] The number 28 in the name comes from 27 member states in the EU and their national legal systems, which are extended by a new EU-wide alternative.[4]
Examples
[edit]- Societas Europaea (European Company Statute);[5]
- proposed European contract law;[6]
- European insurance contract law;[6]
- a unitary patent;
- Pan-European Personal Pension Product;
- Union authorization under the Biocidal Products Directive.
In January 2025 the President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen established a project group to work on proposals of 28th regime for startups and scaleups.[7] In July 2025, the European Commission launched a public consultation to gather views from all stakeholders. Titled "28th regime – a single harmonized set of rules for innovative companies throughout the EU", the consultation closes on 30 September 2025.[8][3][9]
