Brexit – The UK Government’s paper The Future Relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union contains two central proposals for establishing a free trade area for goods but at the same time a new framework for control of movements of people.

New Bill to simplify company formation

Posted on 9 August 2018 by florence

Draft law on the action plan for the growth and transformation of enterprises (PACTE) is to be put before the lower house of the French Parliament in September.

The draft provisions include measures to reduce restrictions on small and medium size business. Setting up new companies will be simplified in order to reduce costs and speed up the formation process. Currently companies are registered on each local company and commercial register where they have their registered office and branches. There are currently circa 1400 business formalities centres in France. Under the new proposal a single online service will be put in place to manage the registration of new companies.

The new bill for the freedom to choose one’s professional future, also referred to as the second part of the reform of the social model after the Macron orders and known as “Pénicaud II”, has finally been adopted by the French Parliament last 1 August 2018.

However, three actions have immediately been introduced before the Constitutional Council and thus the law will probably only be promulgated at the beginning of September 2018.
