Parliament has developed a series of recommendations for a new legal framework supporting innovative companies in the EU, known as the 28th regime. MEPs want the Commission’s proposal to be submitted in the first quarter of 2026 with fully harmonised rules on a separate corporate form registered with 48 hours and recognised across the EU.
Legal Affairs Committee (JURI) rapporteur René Repasi (S&D, DE) will brief journalists following the plenary vote, scheduled for 20 January 2026, and will answer questions about the next steps.
WHEN: Tuesday 20 January, 15.00 CET
WHERE: European Parliament, Brussels, Anna Politkovskaya Room (SPAAK 0A50) and via Interactio, with interpretation into and from English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Polish.
HOW: Accredited journalists can attend the press conference in person. Those wishing to participate actively and ask questions remotely can do so via Interactio. The press conference will be streamed live and made available on demand on Parliament’s Multimedia Centre website.
