Europe’s environmental rules have become increasingly complex, creating contradictory and duplicative requirements that undermine the EU’s competitiveness globally. With the Environmental Omnibus, the EU has an opportunity to streamline its most complex rules. Tackling overlaps, inconsistencies and excessive reporting obligations would improve legal clarity, enhance predictability and strengthen the business case for investment and the clean transition. From permitting to product sustainability, waste, chemicals and beyond, learn why clearer rules will drive Europe’s competitiveness and accelerate the green transition.
