Arthur ten Wolde: European Commission’s approach with Omnibus not entirely rational

In addition, under the guise of ‘the fewer rules, the better’, the Commission also wants to delete parts of the directives that are useful. ‘Like the sector-specific reporting standards,’ says Arthur ten Wolde, Executive Director of the European Sustainable Businesses Federation, Ecopreneur.eu. These actually simplify reporting for companies, because they are tailor-made. ‘The way the Commission is approaching this is not entirely rational.’”
