NFU Consultation Reply on the 28th regime

Summary

The European Commission’s public consultation on the proposed 28th Regime seeks input on a new optional EU-level corporate law framework to ease cross-border business operations across the Single Market.

In its reply, the Nordic Financial Unions (NFU) supports a voluntary, complementary regime that reduces administrative burdens for firms but insists that it must not override national labour laws or social models. NFU warns against extending supranational rules into areas reserved for collective bargaining and urges maintaining union autonomy and national social protections.

NFU’s key message: a well-designed 28th Regime can promote growth and cross-border scaling without sacrificing Europe’s social foundations.
