In Germany, we have the wonderful word "Briefkastenfirmenkonstrukt".
Which essentially means "construct of shell companies". I would argue
that the policy proposal at hand is just an encouragement for companies
with the necessary cash reserve to 'buy a couple of shell companies' to
get some in eligible economies.

Likely quicker and just _more_ than any existing or organic player in
that market. 

Thereby, the proposal would worsen the situation considerably, going
directly counter the rationale presented.


With best regards,
Tobias
