In the fifty-first episode of the EU to go podcast, Thu Nguyen speaks with Julia Symon (Finance Watch) and Sebastian Mack (Jacques Delors Centre) to take a critical look at the EU’s new deregulation agenda.
The EU Commission has announced comprehensive legislative packages to reduce the burden on Europe's economy: less bureaucracy, more competitiveness - that's the promise. But what exactly is behind this ‘fleet of buses’? And might the protection of the climate, human rights and the rule of law be jeopardised in the process?
In this episode of EU to go, Thu Nguyen discusses the EU Commission's new simplification agenda under Ursula von der Leyen with Julia Symon (Finance Watch) and Sebastian Mack (Jacques Delors Centre): the so-called omnibus packages. Together, the three talk about the planned changes to sustainability reporting and financial market regulation - and ask whether Europe is about to sacrifice its own principles.
A podcast about the subtle differences between simplification and deregulation - and why good rules can be a locational advantage rather than a drag.
