UE et climat : les promesses oubliées d'Emmanuel Macron

The author contends that the French government has pivoted away from the climate and social ambitions expressed by President Emmanuel Macron a year prior. The primary point of contention is the 'Omnibus' legislative proposal, which the author claims undermines the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The text asserts that this proposal would exclude 80% of companies from environmental information obligations and facilitate greenwashing by removing non-financial transparency indicators. Furthermore, the author criticizes the lack of public consultation and transparency regarding France's official position on these EU texts, describing the process as a democratic retreat that favors economic and financial lobbies over civil society.

• The 'Omnibus' legislative proposal aims to modify the European laws on corporate due diligence and non-financial reporting, which the author claims will dismantle progress on climate, biodiversity, and human rights.
• The Omnibus proposal is expected to exclude 80% of companies currently subject to environmental information obligations and promote greenwashing by deleting significant portions of non-financial transparency indicators.
• The author alleges a democratic decline in the legislative process, noting that unlike the original CSDDD and CSRD directives, the Omnibus proposal has been developed without meaningful consultation with NGOs, unions, or academics.
• The French government has not officially made its position public regarding the Omnibus proposal, leading to accusations that France is negotiating in secrecy and favoring deregulation similar to the US model.
