What are the immediate impacts of the EU's Omnibus Simplification Package on ESG reporting obligations for businesses, and what are the potential risks?

The EU's Omnibus Simplification Package, reforming the Green Deal, eases ESG reporting burdens for businesses by raising thresholds for mandatory disclosures under the CSRD and limiting the scope of the CSDDD. This delays the application of CSRD and CSDDD by two years for smaller businesses, aiming to improve political consensus. However, this simplification risks data fragmentation and reduced transparency.

What are the underlying causes of the delay in the unbundling of Moldovagaz, and what role did Gazprom and Moldova's debt play in this?

The license revocation stems from Moldova's commitment to the EU's Third Energy Package, mandating the unbundling of gas companies. The failure to meet the July 31st deadline, partly due to Moldovagaz's debt to Gazprom, triggers this action. This restructuring aims to increase market transparency and reduce dependence on a single supplier.
