On 23 February 2022, the Commission adopted a proposal for a directive on corporate sustainability due diligence (“CS3D”) and on 1 December 2022, the Council adopted its negotiating position on CS3D.

The FMLC has sent a letter to the European Commission some examples of legal uncertainty. It would value an opportunity to discuss the issues raised in the letter further.
