On 26th February, the European Commission has adopted new proposals that will cut red tape and simplify EU rules for citizens and business.
This package focuses on:
- making sustainability reporting more accessible and efficient
- simplifying due diligence to support responsible business practices
- strengthening the carbon border adjustment mechanism for a fairer trade
- unlocking opportunities in European investment programmes
The proposals will be submitted to the European Parliament and the Council for approval.
The aim of the Commission is to reduce administrative burdens by 25%, and by 35% for small and medium-sized businesses, by the end of its mandate in 2029.
