TL;DR

EU countries, led by Germany's Free Democrats, blocked a law requiring large companies to audit their supply chains for forced labor and environmental damage, citing concerns about excessive bureaucracy. This marks the second time the proposed corporate sustainability due diligence directive has been stalled, with Belgium considering addressing member states' concerns. The law, designed to take effect in 2027, would apply to EU companies with over 500 employees and a net worldwide turnover above 150 million euros.
