🚨Omnibus I Political agreement
Early this morning, EU institutions reached a political agreement that marks a turning point:
👉 The first rollback of an adopted due diligence law in history
👉 The first major file pushed through via an EPP–far right alliance

Déjà-vu? The CSDDD trilogue agreement is out, and it feels like December 2023 again. This was the last time that this news broke. Only that this time, it's the culmination of a massive deregulation campaign, backed by the far-right, to gut this very law before it even started applying.

Die Politik muss sich für Menschenrechte und Umwelt starkmachen
Das EU-Lieferkettengesetz wurde auf Druck der Industrie entschärft. Nun entscheidet Deutschland über die Zukunft des Gesetzes.
Aus dem EU-Lieferkettengesetz wurden auf Druck der Industrie die Klimapläne u.a. Kernelemente gestrichen. Geht die EU vor der Fossilindustrie in die Knie?
Die Bundesregierung muss jetzt für Menschenrechte + Umwelt einstehen. Mein @fr-zeitung.bsky.social Artikel :

‼️La Defensora del Pueblo de la UE acaba de dar la razón a @eccjorg.bsky.social ‼️
👉 Ha concluido que la @ec.europa.eu incurrió en mala administración al preparar el #OmnibusI y la simplificación de la PAC 2024 para rebajar protecciones ambientales.

Last week's vote on Omnibus I dismantled the CSDDD and took the side of rich multinational companies and the far right over at-risk communities, workers and human rights defenders.
The EU Ombudswoman has now found that the process was rushed, opaque and corporate-driven.
This is unacceptable!

De Europese Ombusman bevestigt vandaag waar het MVO Platform al in februari voor heeft gewaarschuwd: De Europese Commissie heeft door meerdere procedurele tekortkomingen in de totstandkoming van het Omnibus-I-voorstel de eigen regels voor het opstellen van wetgeving overtreden.

BREAKING: The EU watchdog just replied to our complaints. And she stands with us.
She has found that the @ec.europa.eu committed maladministration when it prepared its Omnibus I and 2024 CAP proposals to roll back key environmental protections.
Here are the findings:⬇️

JOINT PRESS RELEASE EU watchdog slams Commission’s undemocratic environmental rollbacks - ECCJ
🚨 The EU Ombudswoman confirms it: the Commission committed maladministration on #Omnibus I.
Rushed, opaque, corporate-driven lawmaking is not acceptable.
With more Omnibus packages coming, the message is clear: the EU cannot dismantle rights behind closed doors

Indeed a very bad day for #democracy and a good example of short term thinking for EU citizens find human rights and ecology important. Economically the #CSDDD would have brought prosperity to many in the long run... Then why weaken it?? @wouterbeke.bsky.social

⚠️ Under misleading claims on #simplification, @eppgroup.bsky.social and the far-right alliance in @europarl.europa.eu dismantled the EU’s sustainability rules, including the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)

‼️"When anti-EU parties and corporate lobbies write the rules, accountability dies and Europe’s credibility crumbles. Today’s vote shows how corporate capture and far-right politics now walk hand in hand, and it's the victims, workers and the planet who pay the price"‼️

🚨 Corporate capture on full display 🚨
“Written for the few, not for people or planet.”
The EP’s far-right & conservative alliance adopts the first legislative package OMNIBUS attacking the planet and workers. This is corporate capture in action.

Hoy, el Parlamento Europeo votó, una vez más, contra los derechos humanos, los derechos laborales y la naturaleza. Pulveriza así la Directiva que iba a fiscalizar a las multinacionales por sus abusos haciendo que la ley sea aún más inútil e ineficaz si cabe.

Editor’s note: MEPs vote to slash sustainability rules
The latest edition of our Sustainable Views newsletter Dear reader,
🗞️on the #CSDDD
The Parliament’s position is a slap in the face of affected communities, human rights & our environment.
All sacrificed on the altar of ‘simplification’ & ‘competitiveness’ – now openly used as synonyms for deregulation by Ursula VDL

El Parlamento Europeo ha fijado su posición sobre el paquete #OmnibusI, en alianza entre conservadores y extrema derecha.
Nos unimos a @eccjorg.bsky.social y pedimos a la UE renovar la ambición en los próximos pasos: defender a personas, planeta y la democracia frente a la influencia corporativa.

🔵 The FTAO joins over 140 EU & non-EU CSOs to call on MEPs to back a strong, fair #Omnibus deal that protects workers, communities & our planet.
An ambitious #CSDDD must:
✅ Cover more companies
✅ Include a serious climate commitment
✅ Guarantee access to justice
