Devoir de vigilance : cap franchi au Parlement européen, mais des failles persistantes

A coalition of NGOs and unions welcomes the European Parliament's vote on the corporate due diligence directive but warns that the text has been weakened by private sector lobbies. They specifically highlight the removal of the reversal of the burden of proof, which they argue hinders access to justice for affected communities and workers, and note weaknesses regarding the financial sector and civil liability.

• The European Parliament has voted on its position for the corporate due diligence directive, marking a significant step toward legislation for companies based in or active in the European market, despite efforts by private sector lobbies to reduce its ambition.
• The adopted text is considered insufficient because it removes key proposals to facilitate access to justice, most notably the reversal of the burden of proof, and contains weaknesses regarding civil liability and the financial sector.
• The final legislative phase involves 'trilogue' negotiations between three European institutions, which the authors describe as opaque and susceptible to lobbying and pressure from certain hostile Member States.
