Corporate Restructuring Study
INITIATIVECompetitiveness, Innovation & Strategic Investment
The Commission will run an EU-wide, firm-level study to assess how corporate restructuring rules shape startups’ and scaleups’ ability to adapt, pivot and grow, and to identify where frameworks unintentionally hinder innovation and investment. It will benchmark Member States on time, cost and outcomes of restructuring; analyse interactions across insolvency, labour, tax and corporate law; and surface best practices that preserve viable businesses while lowering failure costs. Using company-level datasets and case studies, the study will propose targeted reforms. Its findings will directly feed the Quality Jobs Roadmap and the Fair Labour Mobility Package, aligning market dynamism with social protections.
