The Portuguese Parliament (Assembleia da República) has issued an updated opinion on the proposed EU INC. Regulation, a 28th Regime Corporate Legal Framework, as part of the EU legislative process. The opinion, received by the Council on 19 June 2026, was submitted to the President of the Council of the European Union and concerns the interinstitutional file 2026/0074 (COD). The document updates a previous opinion but contains no specific objections, amendments, or substantive positions on the proposal.
The EU INC. proposal, formally titled COM(2026) 321, aims to create a harmonised corporate legal framework for a new type of company, the 'EU Inc.', which would operate under a single set of rules across all member states. The initiative is designed to reduce administrative burdens and legal fragmentation for businesses operating cross-border within the EU. The Portuguese Parliament's updated opinion is part of the consultation process under the subsidiarity and proportionality principles, where national parliaments can raise concerns about the proposal's compliance with EU law.
No prior coverage of this file exists in the available record. The Portuguese Parliament's submission does not indicate any objections or requested changes, suggesting tacit acceptance or a neutral stance at this stage. The Council will now consider the opinion alongside other national parliamentary submissions as the legislative process moves forward. The European Parliament and the Council will jointly decide on the final text of the regulation, with the Commission's proposal serving as the basis for negotiations.
