- Simplification and Investment Goals: The European Commission has introduced proposals aimed at simplifying EU regulations, targeting a 25% reduction in administrative burdens for all businesses and 35% for SMEs, which is expected to save around €6.3 billion annually and mobilize an additional €50 billion in investments.
- Focus on Large Companies and Sustainable Practices: New rules will streamline sustainability reporting and due diligence, primarily affecting larger companies while alleviating the burden on SMEs. This includes removing 80% of companies from mandatory sustainability reporting and postponing compliance deadlines to 2028 for larger firms.
- Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) Changes: The proposals will exempt small importers from CBAM obligations, simplifying requirements for remaining companies and aiming to enhance trade fairness, while preparing for future expansions of CBAM into other sectors.
