There's so many things that are plain wrong in the European ancient and bureaucratic commercial and corporate law.
It's insane that giving stock options (core to attract talent) or raising capital for equity is so difficult across Europe.
And don't get me started on how difficult it is to fire people that just don't work and only pretend to, spreading doing jackshit across the company.
Europe has the talent and even the capital, but the incentives are just not here, neither to attract talent nor serious investments.
The continent is old and politicians keep trying to band aid the system, consistently claim regional-national policies over common European rules, they will claim Europe makes it difficult to do business, just to reinvent their own commercial, import/export rules, tax rules non stop.
I don't want to say it's a disaster, but we really need some party that looks at commercial, trade and corporate law across Europe.
