Rome, November 13 (Adnkronos) – “Today in the European Parliament we witnessed another betrayal of citizens’ trust: the right-wing groups, in order to help multinational companies, preferred to ally with the right-wing groups and abandon all companies that have invested in sustainability and due diligence. corporate civil responsibilities”. That’s what members of the European Parliament from the Green and Left Alliance said after the plenary vote on the Omnibus package this morning.
“Our choice – they continued – is a very opposing decision, because this package promises simplification and actually does the opposite: a slap in the face to those who have innovated to defend the environment and human rights. However, for large companies, sustainability remains an option”.
“We do not intend to support plans that betray workers by destroying an important tool to combat relocation to countries that do not respect social and environmental standards. This all represents a blow to the EU’s ability to establish itself as a pioneer in the international economic and commercial scenario,” they concluded.
