One Market One Law for a European business code
A bottom-up initiative of general interest to support the emergence of a unified and optional European Business Code
What is one market one law?
One Market One Law is a public-interest initiative launched by businesses and legal practitioners advocating the development of a European Business Code at EU level, conceived as an optional legal regime available to companies operating across borders.
Our vision: a Single Market where companies can rely, if they choose, on a common European legal framework alongside national laws, facilitating cross-border activity without replacing domestic systems.
