EU: Parliament rejects mandate on Omnibus proposal & will vote on revised position on 13 November 2025
'MEPs to vote on simplified sustainability and due diligence rules in November', 22 October 2025
Parliament will decide its position on simpler sustainability requirements ahead of talks with EU governments at the next plenary session in Brussels on 13 November.
In a vote on Wednesday, Parliament rejected the mandate adopted by the Legal Affairs Committee on 13 October on simplified rules for sustainability reporting and due diligence obligations, by 309 votes in favour, 318 against and with 34 abstentions.
Following today’s rejection and in line with Rule 72(3) of the Parliament’s Rules of Procedure, MEPs will vote on amendments to the file at the upcoming plenary session in Brussels on 13 November. They will then be ready to start talks with EU governments, which already adopted their position on 23 June. The aim is to finalise the legislation by the end of 2025.
