WHERE: *Daphne Caruana Galizia press conference room (Weiss N-1/201), Strasbourg, and via Interactio [3] (with interpretation into English, French, German, Italian, Maltese and Swedish).
Seeking to boost competitiveness and cut red tape, Parliament is finalising its negotiating position on simplified sustainability reporting [4] and reduced due diligence [5] rules for companies.
