Amid rising geo-economic tensions from U.S. tariff policies, Europe is accelerating efforts to streamline regulations and enhance competitiveness. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola emphasized the urgency of advancing the Commission's sustainability omnibus proposals shortly after U.S. declarations. Jörgen Warbon, the rapporteur on the file, stressed the importance of cutting bureaucracy as Europe risks falling behind competitors. The initial omnibus proposals mark a significant step, but there's a need for comprehensive simplifications that not only address economic issues but also social and health concerns, including ineffective regulatory systems related to tobacco traceability.
The EU must seize this rare political window to deliver sweeping simplification, as Jörgen Warbon notes, 'Europe is falling behind global competitors.'
A comprehensive approach to streamlining regulations would generate vital social, security, and health benefits, especially for the EU's complex tobacco traceability system.
