Its obviously EU - so not the UK, or Norway or Switzerland or Russia...

I agree it is Eu-wide or pan-EU rather than pan European.

Its probably not going to solve the problems it sets out to given all the differences between EU countries legal systems, tax, regulation etc.

It's not obvious to me at all, that's why I asked, precisely because of the use of "pan-European".

EEA applicability might be less obvious than you imply however.

The integrated taxes would be a very big step for the EEA, so would common company law and governance for these entities.

That said I think the headline proposal (single entity type and single registrar) is not important. The UK and (AFAIK) the US have few practical difficulties with multiple registrars and variations between jurisdictions.
