The plan is called EU Inc. It is The European Commission’s proposal to make it easier to start, grow and expand a business across the EU with simpler rules, with digital registration and fewer barriers.
Backed by the European Commission under President Ursula von der Leyen, EU Inc. could allow companies to register within 48 hours for less than €100, attract investment more easily and operate across the EU under a more standardised framework, while national tax, labour and social rules continue to apply.

Europe’s trade ties are expanding. This week, the EU and the Philippines reached substantial agreement on a new Free Trade Agreement, putting the negotiations on a path towards final conclusion. The deal would liberalise more than 94% of tariff lines, covering over 97% of bilateral trade, while opening new opportunities for businesses on both sides.
Also this week: the European Commission proposed unlocking €4.2 billion in Cohesion funding for Hungary and restoring full access to Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe, following its assessment of measures taken by Hungary on rule of law issues affecting the EU budget. The proposal now goes to the Council, which has one month to decide.
And finally, the EU and Canada joined forces to strengthen global ocean observation. President Ursula von der Leyen and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney launched the OceanEye International Alliance, helping secure at least €211 million in financial and in kind pledges from partner countries to support the Global Ocean Observing System.
Catch up on three of the key EU stories from this week and follow the channel for more European news.

Europe’s New Satellite Network: 330 Satellites for When the Internet Fails.
The European Commission’s President Ursula von der Leyen said it clearly: “Our security on Earth depends on our security in Space”.
When the internet goes down, IRIS², a new European satellite network designed to guarantee secure and resilient connectivity, no matter what happens to ground or undersea cables, will keep Europe connected.
330 satellites across three orbits:
– 264 in Low and Medium Earth Orbit
– 66 in a dedicated layer for defence and security users
What does this mean for you?
– Stay connected when it matters most: even when other networks fail, rescue teams will stay connected.
– Connectivity for everyone: high-speed internet for medical, educational, and other needs in remote areas.
– Jobs and opportunities: new business and quality jobs for European companies and start-ups in the space sector.
