How we count
- Yes, No and Abstention come from the European Parliament's roll-call voting protocol.
- “Did not vote” is derived: MEPs with a mandate on the voting day for whom no vote was recorded. Abstentions do not count towards this.
- Subsequent vote corrections are shown but do not change the official result.
- Each vote (overall vote, amendment, partial vote) counts separately. Therefore totals may differ from pages that count differently.

What is this about?
- The EU proposes a new legal framework called 'Societas Europaea Unificata' (S.EU) to support innovative businesses, particularly start-ups and SMEs, by harmonizing regulations across the single market.
- The goal is to reduce regulatory fragmentation, simplify cross-border company formation, and enable digital registration within 48 hours.
- The framework aims to enhance legal certainty for investors, improve access to capital, and include safeguards against hostile takeovers.
- Worker rights, including co-determination, remain protected, while digital tools like an EU-wide business portal streamline administration.
- Implementation is targeted for 2026 to boost Europe’s competitiveness and integration.
