The European Union has developed an ambitious but fragmented digital regulatory framework, spanning the AI Act, the Data Act, the Cyber Resilience Act, and the Platform Work Directive. While each instrument addresses essential aspects of the digital transition, their cumulative effect has been overlapping obligations, administrative duplication, and divergent enforcement across Member States.

What they argued
NFU believes that the proposed EU.Inc framework fundamentally misdiagnoses Europes venture capital challenges. The core problem is not fragmented incorporation procedures or administrative burdens, but the difficulty of transplanting U.S.-style venture capital structures into Europes very different legal and institutional systems.
If the European Commission chooses to put forward a proposal for a 28th regime for company law rather than prioritising deeper integration of the Capital Markets Union and the Savings and Investment Union, NFU recommends that such an initiative follow the approach taken by the European Parliaments INL draft report.
Nordic Financial Unions (NFU) supports the Commission’s aim of including ESG considerations in the advisory process under IDD (Directive EU/2016/97 and Delegated Regulation EU/2017/2359), both in the customer profiling and product selection. NFU believes that finance employees are key levers to facilitate the transition to green finance.
Nordic Financial Unions (NFU) supports the Commission’s aim of including ESG considerations in the investment and advisory process under Mifid II, as part of the duties towards clients. NFU believes that finance employees are key levers to facilitate the transition to green finance.
The Nordic Financial Unions (NFU) supports the European Commissions ambition to strengthen the competitiveness of EU banking but argues that competitiveness should not be measured by scale and consolidation alone. A competitive banking sector also requires resilience, customer access, effective competition, skilled employees and strong operational capabilities.
The Nordic Financial Unions (NFU) supports the original objectives of the Shareholder Rights Directive (SRD II), which were shaped by lessons from the 2008 financial crisis and aimed at strengthening long-termism, accountability, and sustainable corporate governance.
In the following NFU concentrates on remaining gaps and areas where our member unions see room for stronger protections through further-going harmonisation. Overall NFU concludes that the standard has been raised compared to the pre-Directive situation.
