\n Civil society groups and unions are nervous about the political turn taken by the European Commission under Ursula von der Leyen\u2019s second presidency, and warn its new Competitiveness Compass could steer it away from green deal aspirations and workers\u2019 rights.
\n ADVERTISEMENTThe Commission wants to liberate businesses from the burden of regulation by \u2018simplifying\u2019 the gamut of European law, but some fear the EU executive\u2019s new watchword is a euphemism for deregulation.The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) declined\u00a0an invitation for ‘social partners’ to endorse the Competitiveness Compass presented on Wednesday (29 January), saying it had not been consulted on the EU executive\u2019s new blueprint for economic growth, and that the plan would \u201cundermine jobs, rights and standards\u201d.The union umbrella group \u2013 while declaring itself \u201cfully on board\u2019 with the need to increase Europe\u2019s competitiveness \u2013 singled out a call for pensions reforms and measures to promote longer working lives, and said the plan would channel money towards corporations without any social conditions.It also slammed as \u201ca recipe for disaster\u201d the Commission\u2019s resurrection of an old idea for a \u201828th legal regime\u2019 that would allow companies to operate outside the 27 different EU jurisdictions through a supranational system of corporate, insolvency, labour and tax law \u2013 in part to address Europe\u2019s apparent weakness when it comes to tech start-ups.\u201cWhile it\u2019s welcome to have a first step towards a European industrial policy, this first draft needs significant negotiation and revision,\u201d ETUC general secretary Esther Lynch said. \u201cA bonfire of regulations that will make workplaces less safe or force people to work into their seventies isn\u2019t going to be what saves companies.\u201dEnvironmental groups were similarly conflicted about the von der Leyen Commission\u2019s new economic strategy \u2013 often supporting the aim, but questioning the means.Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe recognised the EU executive\u2019s commitment to the 2050 net-zero emissions target, but doubted whether the new Compass would point industry in the right direction.\u201cWhile we welcome the Commission’s renewed commitment to building out clean energy infrastructure like grids and storage, the Compass falls short on phasing out all fossil fuels \u2014 whether from Russia or elsewhere \u2014 and fully utilising energy savings, the two missing elements of an affordable, resilient energy system,\u201d CAN Europe head of energy Cornelia Maarfield said.Other campaign groups were concerned by the near absence of any reference to environmental issues beyond climate action.\u201cBy taking aim at the recently agreed corporate sustainability reporting framework\u2026and hinting at further deregulation across critical policy areas, the Commission threatens to undermine progress on the green transition,\u201d said Ester Asin, director of WWF\u2019s European Policy Office.The president of the Greens group in the European Parliament, Bas Eickhout, also applauded the goal of boosting Europe\u2019s competitiveness, but argued that this should be done by implementing, not dismantling, the raft of climate and environmental policy adopted under the first von der Leyen Commission.\u201cWe have concerns that the Compass is too narrowly focused on CO2 reduction alone and not on protecting nature,\u201d Eickhout said. \u201cInaction on environmental protection and reducing pollution will stymie our competitiveness and growth if it continues to be ignored.\u201dFor the director of the influential lobby group BusinessEurope, Markus Beyrer, the Commission had provided the \u201cclear directions\u201d the EU needs which must now be followed by \u201cconcrete actions\u201d.\u201cThese actions have to prioritise reducing regulatory burdens and cutting red tape in order to deliver on the promise to make it easier to do business in Europe,\u201d Beyrer said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
