The Council's Working Party on Company Law is scheduled to meet on 2 July 2026 at 10:00 in Brussels to continue its examination of the Commission Proposal on the 28th Regime Corporate Legal Framework – EU INC (Doc. 7498/26 + ADD 1-6). The meeting, to be held at the Council's Europa Building, will focus on the second agenda item: continuation of the examination of the proposal, following approval of the agenda and preceding any other business.
The EU INC proposal, introduced by the European Commission, aims to create a 28th corporate legal regime – an optional, EU-level company form that would operate alongside national company types. The working party's review is a standard step in the legislative process, where member state experts scrutinize the proposal's legal and technical details before it advances to higher-level Council discussions. No substantive decisions or exclusions are expected at this meeting, which is procedural in nature.
The meeting notice, published on 25 June 2026, lists the agenda items and provides contact details for the Council's company law secretariat. Council documents related to the proposal are available on the Delegates Portal. The working party's continued examination reflects the Council's ongoing work on the file, which has been under discussion since the Commission's proposal was submitted.
