Opposition grows against EU sustainability omnibus
The omnibus process is raising concerns for its lack of transparency and inclusivity.
More than 150 civil society organisations have joined the call not to reopen negotiations on sustainability regulations as part of its omnibus simplification, warning that this would jeopardise investment and erode the EU’s leadership.
“We are deeply concerned by the current direction of policy making within the European Commission, particularly regarding the introduction of measures that can potentially weaken or undermine previously agreed legislation crucial to the EU’s sustainability goals,” the NGOs, which include Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe and Earthsight, wrote in a statement to the EU Commission today (February 5).
