Germany and France are reportedly collaborating to weaken a proposed EU law aimed at ensuring ethical practices in global supply chains. This initiative seeks to reduce the scope of due diligence requirements for businesses operating within the European Union.
A notable area of convergence between the two nations is nuclear energy. in May, Germany’s Economy Minister, Katherina Reiche, indicated a potential shift in Berlin’s long-held stance against classifying nuclear power as a renewable energy source. This move could resolve a persistent disagreement that has complicated EU energy policy, although Germany’s junior coalition partners, the Social Democrats, reportedly oppose this change.
