At the centre of this political drama is the so-called Omnibus I Directive, which seeks to “simplify” green reporting rules for businesses under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. However, this simplification exercise has proceeded along shaky assumptions, a questionable technique and an indefensible constitutional basis. I argue that it marks a triumphant comeback for a resilient neoliberal EU.
