The far-reaching simplification is deemed necessary for sustainable reporting. The first Omnibus bill will include extensive\u00a0simplification in sustainable financial reporting and the so-called ‘due diligence’<\/strong> — the analysis required\u00a0before signing\u00a0contracts or undertaking economic activities. It loosens the restrictions on possible actions that risk undermining\u00a0sustainability commitments. Less focus on\u00a0the environment in exchange for economic acceleration.<\/p>\n The work will not end in these weeks. Von der Leyen aims to keep the business-friendly promises by establishing a special competitiveness fund in the next Multi Financial Framework\u00a0(MFF 2028-2034). Its\u00a0approval and, more importantly, financial allocation will depend on the upcoming inter-institutional negotiations. One thing that seems sure is the creation of fast-track procedures\u00a0in the clean-tech field. For projects in this area, funding and procurement can and should take priority\u00a0in terms of\u00a0allocation and approvals.<\/p>\n Steps backward\u00a0for\u00a0a Commission that acknowledges the\u00a0desire to take a step back. With a country like France advocating\u00a0the removal of significant\u00a0pieces of the sustainability agenda<\/a>,\u00a0aligning with businesses and competing directly with the EPP — which has always positioned itself as the reference party for enterprises — and three-quarters of member states calling for simplification<\/a>, moving in the opposite direction risks making the European legislature five years\u00a0of institutional clashes. Von der Leyen wants competitiveness, not disputes or confrontation. Her Competitiveness Compass aims to achieve precisely this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" European Commission president ready for a ‘deregulation’ approach aimed at supporting the economy, reversing paradigms: it is the sustainability agenda that adapts to industry, no longer the other way round<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":494,"featured_media":379190,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"format":"standard","override":[{"template":"1","parallax":"1","fullscreen":"1","layout":"right-sidebar","sidebar":"default-sidebar","second_sidebar":"default-sidebar","sticky_sidebar":"1","share_position":"top","share_float_style":"share-monocrhome","show_featured":"1","show_post_meta":"1","show_post_author":"1","show_post_author_image":"1","show_post_date":"1","post_date_format":"default","post_date_format_custom":"Y\/m\/d","show_post_category":"1","show_post_reading_time":"0","post_reading_time_wpm":"300","post_calculate_word_method":"str_word_count","show_zoom_button":"0","zoom_button_out_step":"2","zoom_button_in_step":"3","show_post_tag":"1","show_prev_next_post":"1","show_popup_post":"1","number_popup_post":"1","show_author_box":"0","show_post_related":"1","show_inline_post_related":"0"}],"image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"crop-500","single_post_gallery_size":"crop-500"}],"trending_post_position":"meta","trending_post_label":"Trending","sponsored_post_label":"Sponsored by","disable_ad":"0","subtitle":""},"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_override_counter":{"view_counter_number":"0","share_counter_number":"0","like_counter_number":"0","dislike_counter_number":"0"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[25681,25727],"tags":[25747,26324,29189,26752,25905,25886],"class_list":["post-417131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","category-in-the-spotlight","tag-deregulation-en","tag-imprese-en","tag-green-deal-en","tag-sustainability-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eunews.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eunews.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eunews.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eunews.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/494"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eunews.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417131"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.eunews.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":417154,"href":"https:\/\/www.eunews.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417131\/revisions\/417154"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eunews.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/379190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eunews.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eunews.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eunews.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"https:\/\/www.eunews.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/green-deal-no.png\")
<\/a>Von der Leyen, however, is determined to move forward. Her change of pace began even before the elections<\/strong> when she promised\u00a0and granted<\/a>\u00a0the agricultural sector\u00a0compensation and a softening in EU policies. Now, it is the turn to respond to the secondary sector.\u00a0 The special roundtable with the automotive industry<\/a>\u00a0will immediately follow, possibly leading to changes\u00a0on a halt to\u00a0traditional engines and fines on\u00a0companies that do not comply with anti-CO2 emission targets. The simplification measures will be announced on Jan. 29, while the strategic auto dialogue will be on\u00a0Jan. 30:<\/strong>\u00a0this is the schedule\u00a0to\u00a0change the agenda. The aim was to impose the Green Deal on industry. Now, industry is being\u00a0imposed on\u00a0the Green Deal<\/strong>. In this\u00a0context, it is hard to imagine a scaling back of ambitions and intentions.<\/p>\n
