- Abstract
- Since the adoption of the European Green Deal in 2019 (EDG), concerns about compliance costs for achieving climate neutrality and other environmental objectives, the resulting loss of competitiveness of EU undertakings, trade retaliation and geopolitical turmoil have induced the European Commission to undertake a major simplification of existing legislation. The EU executive has proposed ten 'omnibus' packages to EU lawmakers, which involve revisiting existing legislation in order to reduce disproportionate, redundant or overlapping regulatory requirements. Given that administrative simplification has now become the EU's new mantra, these changing political winds not only provide cover for a controversial form of regulation but also risk blowing the EGD off course.
