DUE DILIGENCE VOTE PUSHED TO FRIDAY: The oft-delayed vote on the bloc’s controversial business supply chain rules, initially scheduled for Wednesday, has been pushed to Friday, according to the latest https://y3r710.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fdmp.politico.eu%2F%3Femail=matilda.flemming@foeeurope.org%26destination=https:%2F%2Fwww.consilium.europa.eu%2Fen%2Fmeetings%2Fmpo%2F2024%2F3%2Fcoreper-1-permanent-representatives-committee-(337280)%2F/1/0102018e3668a3f3-78575987-b90d-40c2-a885-2842edfb3d63-000000/49pVCHGAvbwJHC6-xHTvWDeeZZ8=365 meeting agenda. It now falls on the same day as the vote on https://y3r710.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fdmp.politico.eu%2F%3Femail=matilda.flemming@foeeurope.org%26destination=https:%2F%2Fpro.politico.eu%2Fnews%2F176551/1/0102018e3668a3f3-78575987-b90d-40c2-a885-2842edfb3d63-000000/WAai0yhGsLjtsJ3-0uOYc5B5Shg=365 EU packaging rules.

Renewed push for adoption: The Commission, the Belgian presidency and MEPs from the Socialists & Democrats, the Greens and The Left all renewed their call for member countries to approve the supply chain rules in a plenary https://y3r710.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fdmp.politico.eu%2F%3Femail=matilda.flemming@foeeurope.org%26destination=https:%2F%2Fmultimedia.europarl.europa.eu%2Fen%2Fwebstreaming%2Fplenary-session_20240312-0900-PLENARY/1/0102018e3668a3f3-78575987-b90d-40c2-a885-2842edfb3d63-000000/pdsuNjkKAwqo3Bau0ooOPqWeWkE=365 debate Tuesday evening. Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders stressed the rules will not overly burden SMEs — a concern voiced last week by Italy — while S&D MEP Lara Wolters, who leads work on the file, likened the Council to a groom forcing his bride to wait at the altar while he makes demands in exchange for marrying her. Center-right and conservative lawmakers reiterated their concerns about the burdens on industry.

Seeing an opening: Italy — one of the key holdouts on the supply chain rules — has linked its demands on the packaging legislation to its support for the due diligence file. The country has already won a lot of ground on packaging: In the final deal on the new rules, it secured exemptions from reusable packaging targets for companies in countries with high recycling rates (i.e. Italy itself) and managed to ensure that a ban on single-use packaging applies only to plastic, not paper, packaging.

But Italian Business Minister Adolfo Urso thinks the text can be further “improved,” https://y3r710.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fdmp.politico.eu%2F%3Femail=matilda.flemming@foeeurope.org%26destination=https:%2F%2Fwww.euractiv.com%2Fsection%2Feconomy-jobs%2Fnews%2Feu-negotiators-arm-csddd-text-against-last-minute-political-push%2F/1/0102018e3668a3f3-78575987-b90d-40c2-a885-2842edfb3d63-000000/mk2j4ltfP0G5AyFsuERKAdfBcUU=365 telling Euractiv last week that “some steps forward have been taken and […] can continue to be taken.” He linked those “improvements” to Italy’s potential endorsement of supply chain rules if they too are tweaked to its liking.
