2025/2079(INL)·10th term·JURI·INL

Summary

A legislative-initiative report with recommendations to the Commission on the 28th Regime, a new legal framework for innovative companies (start-ups and scale-ups). Amendments frame fragmented and varying Member State rules, debate whether the regime should be a regulation or directive and its legal basis under Articles 50 and 114 TFEU, and address venture capital, pan-European mobility, high-skilled workers, protection against 'killer acquisitions', and registration in a Member State.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
