EUは,企業の持続性に関する規則を容易にし,産業の圧力の中で必要な事項を増加させ,その要件を削る. EU eases corporate sustainability rules, raising thresholds and cutting requirements amid industry pressure.

欧州国会の法務委員会は,EUのCSRD及びCSDD法の縮小版を承認し,企業振興規則の施行率を5000人に増やし,年収150億円に増加し,雇用者1000人から1億5000万人に減少した. The European Parliament’s legal committee has approved scaled-back versions of the EU’s CSRD and CSDDD laws, raising the threshold for corporate sustainability rules to 5,000 employees and €1.5 billion in annual revenue, down from 1,000 employees and €450 million. この変更により,必要な移行計画が廃止され,事業競争力と規制負担が減少し,報告の義務が減る. The changes eliminate mandatory transition plans and reduce reporting obligations, citing business competitiveness and regulatory burden. この動きは,産業団体や主要加盟国からの圧力に伴うが,批評家らは,人権及び気候問題に対する責任を弱体化させると警告している. The move follows pressure from industry groups and key member states, though critics warn it weakens accountability on human rights and climate issues. 欧州審議会及び委員会との交渉は,同法の施行を一年末までに完了することを期待されている. Negotiations with the European Council and Commission are expected to finalize the legislation by year-end.
