28th regime

Last updated

28th regimes are proposed legal frameworks of European Union rules which do not replace member states' own national rules but are an optional alternative to them. [1] 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. [2]

Examples

  1. European Company Statute; [3]
  2. proposed European contract law,; [4]
  3. European insurance contract law,; [4]
  4. a unitary patent;
  5. 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. [5] 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. [6] [1] [7]
