28th Regime (28° regime)

The debate on the European 28th Regime introduces a uniform, voluntary legal option designed to facilitate cross-border activities without imposing full harmonisation of national laws. The goal is to offer businesses and citizens a simple, digital, and interoperable framework that can reduce the costs and complexity arising from current regulatory divergences. Unioncamere shares this vision, recognising the 28th Regime as a strategic tool for strengthening the Single Market and supporting start-ups, scale-ups, and innovative SMEs. However, it stresses the need for clear definitions, proportionate procedures, and a gradual approach that guarantees legal certainty and measurable benefits.
