European corporate law Strategic Competitiveness legal basis EU Verfassungsblog Verfassungsblog--2366-7044 CC BY-SA 4.0 The debate surrounding the proposed EU Inc. has become one of the most vibrant discussions in European corporate law.

Yet they also risk obscuring a more fundamental reality. When political consensus exists, institutional and legal solutions usually follow. The constitutional debate therefore risks putting the cart before the horse.
