The #Omnibus package announced this morning has taken the form of pure deregulation. It sacrifices much-needed binding rules for businesses and compromises the EU’s reputation as a trailblazer in environmental and human rights protection. Our reaction: www.fidh.org/en/issues/bu...

📰It's out: the @ec.europa.eu has announced its #Omnibus proposal And it's BAD🚨 If adopted as it stands, Omnibus would deliver a devastating blow to the EU’s commitments to climate neutrality & its pledge to uphold human rights on the global stage corporatejustice.org/news/press-r...

🚨 Back to protest mode Tomorrow, @ec.europa.eu will announce #Omnibus, but we've seen the leaked text: it's a direct assault on the EU sustainability framework & dramatic for the #CSDDD It's not simplification, but full-scale deregulation designed to dismantle corporate accountability #NoToOmnibus

Let’s call it what it is: #Omnibus is a reality check for corporate power, not for people or the planet. In today's World Day of #SocialJustice, remember the major oil spill in Peru, 2022. This tragedy is a real reality check—& why we need the #CSDDD to stop corporate abuses. We say #NoToOmnibus

Not without us We are in front of the @ec.europa.eu bringing the voices of victims of corporate abuse that EU policymakers do not want in their consultation meeting today. NGOs & trade unions have a common message: #NoToOmnibus The EU should serve people and the planet, not corporate interests.
