Executive summary by David Frydlinger, Cirio Law Firm

Cirio Law Firm has conducted a thorough legal analysis of the EU’s Omnibus package, highlighting potential constitutional challenges. The findings suggest that some reform proposals could undergo prolonged judicial review, lasting 3 to 5 years, leading to considerable uncertainty for businesses throughout Europe.

While the Omnibus package seeks to streamline sustainability regulations, our review shows that key elements, particularly those aiming to significantly change or eliminate corporate due diligence obligations, may face serious legal scrutiny. These changes could raise concerns about their alignment with core EU legal principles.

This document contains Cirio’s overarching analysis of the Omnibus proposals, which points out, among other things, that the proposed changes largely appear to be based on an insufficient analysis of the root causes of what is perceived as overregulation. An alternative approach, better meeting the needs of both rule of law and EU competitiveness is presented.
