Question for written answer E-000720/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
César Luena (S&D)
In its presentation of the Competitiveness Compass, the Commission asks for all EU, national and local institutions to develop simple rules to speed up administrative procedures. That process will begin with the first in a series of Omnibus simplification packages. Focusing exclusively on investors, the first Omnibus will cover simplification relating to sustainable finance reporting, sustainability due diligence and taxonomy. What is missing, however, is an assessment of the environmental impact of the simplified regulations, which could be used by businesses to shirk their environmental obligations.
In the light of the above:
- 1.What impact does the Commission expect the Omnibus packages and wider simplification strategy to have on the Green Deal?
- 2.How does the Commission believe the introduction of a small-mid cap will affect implementation of the European Green Deal, particularly in view of the proposed simplification of the carbon border adjustment mechanism?
- 3.What measures is the Commission considering for businesses that fail to meet the new simplified and sustainable laws?
