EU lawmakers propose further easing of corporate sustainability rules amid backlash
The European Union should further slash the number of companies subject to its environmental and corporate sustainability rules, the European Parliament member leading negotiations on the policies said on Thursday. The European Commission proposed a "simplification omnibus" in February that it said would help European firms compete with foreign rivals by cutting back on sustainability reporting rules and obligations intended to root out abuses in their supply chains. Those proposals did not go far enough, according to Swedish centre-right lawmaker Jörgen Warborn, who has drafted amendments to scale back the laws further to only cover companies with 3,000 employees or more and over €450m in turnover. The commission proposal would exempt companies with fewer than 1,000 employees - already cutting out more than 80% of the roughly 50,000 companies currently covered by the green reporting rules. The EU counts around 6,000 companies with more than 1,000 employees. "Europe is falling behind the US and China in the global race for competitiveness. I'm entering this process with a clear ambition: to cut costs for businesses and go further than the commission on simplification," Warborn said in a statement on Thursday. His draft proposal must be negotiated in the European Parliament where other lawmakers can propose their own amendments. The Parliament will agree the final changes with EU member countries in the coming months. Warborn, a member of the centre-right European People's Party lawmaker group, is facing competing calls from some right-wing lawmakers to scrap the policies entirely, and Socialist and Green lawmakers vowing to preserve them. French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz have both demanded the EU scrap the supply chain law. But the walk-back on ESG rules has met resistance from some investors and campaigners, who have warned it weakens corporate accountability and hurts the bloc's ability to attract more investments towards meeting climate goals. Warborn said his proposed changes will not weaken Europe's sustainability standards, but rather free up resources that companies can instead invest in innovation. Reuters

Ifo institute raises German growth forecasts due to new government plans
The Ifo institute has today raised its forecasts for the German economy for this year and next, expecting new government measures and a spending surge to boost the anaemic economy. The economic institute said it expects 0.3% growth this year, up from the 0.2% previously forecast. For 2026, Ifo foresees 1.5% growth, up from the 0.8% expected in its spring forecasts. "The crisis in the German economy reached its low point in the winter half-year," said Timo Wollmershaeuser, head of forecasts at Ifo. "One reason for the growth spurt is the fiscal measures announced by the new German government." The German cabinet approved a €46 billion tax relief package last week to support companies and revive its sluggish economy from this year up to 2029. Germany's parliament also approved plans for a massive spending surge in March, including a €500 billion infrastructure fund and largely removing defence investment from the rules that cap borrowing. In its economic forecast, the Ifo institute estimates a boost of €10 billion in 2025 and €57 billion in 2026 from these measures. As a result, growth is likely to be 0.1 percentage points higher this year and 0.7 percentage points higher next year, compared with a scenario without the government economic plans.
