Writing
All posts ↗Andreas Klinger has been writing about European tech policy, especially the EU-Inc campaign for a standardized pan-European legal entity and the details needed to make the 28th-regime law useful, alongside a piece urging Europe to respond to Trump with full sovereignty.
Argues the EU-INC 28th-regime law will pass and details what must be right: a regulation not directive, a central digital registry, open access to all, exclusion of employment and tax rules, and use of Article 352.»
Explains the EU-Inc effort to create a standardized pan-European legal entity with a digital registry and standard docs to fix fragmentation in early-stage fundraising, and asks for continued startup involvement.»
Urges politicians to take Trump's statements literally, warning of an eight-year 'Global MAGA' era using memes and social media, and calls for European economic and defense sovereignty.»
