ESG omnibus simplification package, first DMA non-compliance decisions and European Commission issues 2024 Annual Competition Report

The recent adoption of the Stop-the-Clock Directive under the broader omnibus simplification package provides companies temporary relief in the field of ESG compliance, while broader reforms remain under legislative review. Separately, the European Commission has issued its first decisions under the Digital Markets Act, imposing EUR 700 million fines on Apple and Meta for non-compliance. The European Commission’s 2024 Annual Competition Report also highlights continued efforts to modernise enforcement tools and promote fair competition across sectors. These developments reflect a growing emphasis on regulatory simplification and clarity, digital oversight, and sustainability, with important implications for non-EU businesses operating in the EU.
