'EUnpacked' Episode #4: The EU’s first Omnibus - simplification or deregulation?

Update: 2025-05-19

Description

Tune in to the latest episode of our EUnpacked podcast series in which we try to untangle the famous or rather infamous ‘Omnibus I’ package unveiled by the European Commission on 26 February this year. The proposal aims to simplify ESG reporting and due diligence obligations, responding to new political and geopolitical imperatives pushing a simplification and burden-reduction drive to boost the EU’s competitiveness. Podcast host and Head of the Freshfields EU Regulatory & Public Affairs Team Natalie Pettinger Kearney is joined by Léa Bareil, ESG lead in the Brussels public affairs team together with Juliane Hilf and Vanessa Jakovich, both partners in the firm’s leading ESG regulatory practice.
