  • Concerns about the Sixth Omnibus on chemicals

    In a joint letter, we express concerns regarding the so-called Sixth Omnibus on chemicals. This proposal does not serve its alleged aim to enhance competitiveness without compromising a high level of protection. Instead it signals regulatory instability that will ultimately weaken EU industry - by harming investor confidence and penalising companies that have invested in compliance.

  • Competitiveness simplification must not lead to deregulation

    There is a growing and very real risk that the 'simplification' agenda may translate into deregulation of essential EU social, environmental, democracy and human rights protections. In our joint letter, we urge the European Commission to provide a guarantee for regulations necessary for the socio-ecological transition. Prioritising the narrow interests of certain businesses over the public interest is neither acceptable nor sustainable as an economic strategy.
