Wow thanks for the long reply, unfortunately many if not most of your points are common in all of Europe. I asked you to clarify because I am not only curious about the topic but I strongly believe that these issues should be talked about way more frequently and reach when possible the general population.

Most people are completely unaware of the risks and difficulties of running a company in our countries.

In Italy for example the tax agency operates on a model that is often no different from extortion and innocent people can suffer greatly because of it, I have seen it happen.

I am skeptical that EU Inc will solve all the main problems or even that it will become reality at all but let's see.

Sounds interesting, what can you achieve?

It would be interesting to know more about the whole Netflix ordeal, apparently they got fined because they have servers in the country.

This type of dispute can set up very bad precedent.

I am in the process of trying to understand how businesses work and I have been comparing the realities of starting and running companies in various european countries. Most of the information that I can find is very surface level so thanks for sharing anything that people should be aware of.

A community/forum/subreddit focused on this does not seem to exist. I guess professionals are too busy.

I was also surprised to not see much discourse over Section 174 recently.

But getting back to the point, europe needs to decide if it wants to be relevant or not in the future. As an italian currently living in my country, I can say that doing business here looks like insanity, it's not hyperbole, the environment is as anti-business and innovation as it can be.

Great to see Greece improving, meanwhile Italy is speedrunning its demise.
