The 🇪🇺 Commission & industry both like to talk about “simplification” of EU laws. Other favourite phrases include “streamlining” or “cutting red tape”.
But let’s be clear: it’s cutting social, green, & digital protections.

There have also been numerous so-called “reality checks” which feed into the #deregulation #Omnibus process.
But these 🇪🇺 Commission “reality checks” are pseudo consultations, dominated by industry, and operating on ridiculously short timelines.

And the 🇪🇺 Commission looks set to continue its turbo-charged #deregulation agenda.
There are rumours of more omnibuses, while other much-needed rules in the pipeline now look as it they will be substantially weakened, for example on #PFAS or #REACH reform .
We need #RulestoProtect not #Deregulation.
🇪🇺 Commission needs to stop doing bidding of big business & get back to regulating in public interest.
