Omnibus I: Sustainability and due diligence rules

Following a secret ballot, the European Parliament refused to grant the mandate to enter into trilogue negotiations on the

Omnibus I.

A procedure for tabling amendments will therefore be opened, followed by a new vote during the November plenary session.

MEP Kira Marie Peter-Hansen, Vice-President of the Greens-EFA comments:

"Today’s vote makes it clear that Parliament is not ready to rubber-stamp EPP's blackmail and a deal that weakens Europe’s sustainability framework.

The outcome gives us another chance to improve the text and make sure our sustainability and due diligence rules actually matter. The Greens-EFA are ready to resume negotiations in a constructive spirit.

This result shows that the Greens-EFA are indispensable to a stable, pro-European majority.”

* The Omnibus I concerns three fundamental pieces of legislation: The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the EU Taxonomy Regulation.
