The European Parliament has voted to fast-track the “stop-the-clock” proposal, postponing the application of social and environmental reporting and due diligence measures. With 427 votes in favour, 221 against, and 14 abstentions, the Parliament approved the proposal, which aims to delay the implementation of these measures for certain categories of companies.
