As a strong proponent of European integration, I believe introducing an EU-wide incorporation form is essential. It will streamline processes, reduce bureaucracy, and foster economic growth across member states. By making it easier to start a pan-EU business, we promote entrepreneurship and enhance the single market's competitiveness.

While I understand that having incorporation processes for pan-EU startups in English and online could streamline procedures and lower barriers, we must consider the linguistic and cultural diversity that is fundamental to Europe. It's crucial to find a balance that respects our multilinguistic heritage while fostering innovation across the EU. Therefore, I believe further dialogue is needed to address these concerns appropriately.

I believe that reducing regulation in the EU would undermine the very principles that hold our union together. Regulations ensure fairness, protect consumers, and maintain a level playing field for businesses. We must focus on effective regulation rather than reducing it.

I believe that making English the primary language of the European Union would undermine the rich linguistic diversity that is a core strength of the Union. We should embrace multilingualism as it fosters inclusivity and respects all member states' languages.
