Sweden, Romania, Austria and The Netherlands have successfully completed the Doing Business Abroad pilot as part of the DE4A Large Scale Pilot.​

The Member States have developed international infrastructures to support cross-border activities for companies. These have been integrated with business registers and public authorities providing services for companies and have enabled public authorities to stay informed about any events that occur in the company, so they can make sure to provide the correct services.​

In a situation without the infrastructure, registering a new business activity can take up to several weeks and requires obtaining documented proof that must be uploaded or sent per email. See the full story
