12. Urges the Commission to present an action plan indicating the way forward after the consultation, which should outline short-, medium- and long-term initiatives to improve the regulatory framework for EU company law; believes that short-term initiatives should include the14th Company Law Directive and measures improving the EU framework for corporate governance, while mid-term initiatives should address, for instance, the Ninth Company Law Directive, and long-term initiatives the codification of EU company law;

10. Recalls that, according to the Commission's Smart Regulation Agenda, legislation needs to be clearer and more accessible; takes the view that the Commission should codify EU company law in order to provide a user-friendly set of rules and to ensure the consistency of EU law; recognises the merits of a single EU company law instrument, but believes that company law directives need to be grouped together as a first step; suggests grouping them in categories, including formation and operation (e.g. the First and Second Directives and the accounting and audit directives), mobility (e.g. the Third , Sixth , Tenth , Eleventh and 13th Di ...[+++]rectives and the future 14th Directive) and EU company law forms (e.g. SE, SCE, EEIG); emphasises that this codification project should not, of course, lead to a halt in the necessary reform activities;
