❌The @EU_Commission just missed another opportunity to use the full power of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. The EC has decided to refer Hungary's law on the protection of sovereignty to the @EUCourtPress. However, it is not asking the court for interim measures. /1

🗞️#CSDDD NEWS Today's endorsement of the CSDDD brings us 0.05% closer to corporate justice. While it’s an important step, the last-minute changes due to political manoeuvres force the endorsement to cover even fewer EU companies. corporatejustice.org/news/reaction-…

⛓️ In the EU, it matters how products are made! Ambassadors just confirmed the Corporate sustainability due diligence directive (#CSDDD)! 💚 It fosters sustainable & responsible corporate behaviour, anchors human rights & environmental considerations for companies' operations.

Over the last 4 years, EU lawmakers- with support from a wide range of business & community stakeholders- have painstakingly crafted the #CSDDD to reshape the economic landscape, foster shared prosperity, & uphold human rights in value chains. 1/

@EUCouncil @FinlandinEU @RPUE_LU @RPFranceUE @etuc_ces @FinUnions @repasi @anna_cavazzini @larawoltersEU @bund_net @amisdelaterre TODAY, industry ministers are discussing a new version of the #CSDDD. @EUCouncil, the alternative — a future without CSDDD for companies to respect people & the planet — is not an option. We want EU capitals like France, Luxembourg & Finland to say YES to the CSDDD.

This is alarming, both for HR due diligence but also the rule of law in the EU. This directive has been discussed & negotiated over 4 yrs. After a political agreement in December there is no due process or accountability to backtrack & fail to approve at the 11th hour. #CSDDD

🗞️#CSDDD NEWS Today, despite overwhelming support, EU capitals have set a deplorable setback by saying NO to the CSDDD. It’s a harrowing green-light signal to reckless businesses that they can keep fueling crises for corporate profits twitter.com/EU2024BE/statu…

Outraged at the political games being played in Council today on due diligence. Flagrant disregard for the European Parliament. Member States need to get their act together because time is running out. Press conference at 4pm. multimedia.europarl.europa.eu/en/webstreamin…

It is long overdue that EU member states put legal binding measures in place that protect from human rights and environmental harm by corporate malpractice. Germany must say yes to the #CSDDD. @Bundeskanzler
Mary Lawlor UN Special Rapporteur HRDs@MaryLawlorhrds

I've written to @Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz via @GermanyUNGeneva to express my concern at reports Germany may abstain on this Friday's EU vote on human rights rules for companies. I urge Germany's full support for the proposal, which has the potential to improve security of HRDs.

Hungary’s judicial reform remains fundamentally defective, despite the Gov’s claims to the contrary. Legislative steps & proof of proper implementation of judicial super milestones are necessary in many aspects to access frozen EU funds. Our new analysis: helsinki.hu/en/fundamental…

There are different ways to report a story. With words. With pictures. Sometimes I use music. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, I’ve been writing a piece for the piano about what’s happening here. @BBCNews @BBCRadio3 @BBCr4today
