BRUSSELS — Europe’s dominant center-right group will move ahead with a proposal to cut green rules that they are confident will get the support of right-wing and far-right groups in a crucial Parliament vote next week.

If successful, it will mean EU green reporting rules will be significantly relaxed and apply to fewer companies.

The European People’s Party has submitted changes to the first omnibus simplification bill similar to those previously negotiated with right-wing groups in Parliament, including the European Conservatives and Reformists, the Patriots for Europe and the Europe of Sovereign Nations, according to 3 Parliament officials familiar with the file.

“The EPP will now move forward and table only EPP amendments. These are reasonable amendments, and I expect that we can secure a majority with this so that we can start the negotiations with [EU countries] swiftly,” said the EPP’ Jörgen Warborn, lead negotiator on the file.

The European Commission put forward its first omnibus simplification bill last February to reduce reporting obligations for companies under the bloc’s corporate sustainability disclosure and supply chain transparency rules.

Following a first failed attempt to agree on a common position with other centrist groups, the EPP is now proposing a version of the file that resembles an earlier compromise that it had negotiated with far-right groups.

The EPP used that earlier version to try to force the S&D and the centrist Renew group to accept further cuts to the rules, but was unsuccessful.

“Our position didn’t change at all, if EPP has tabled the package one amendments that is good for us because we would be able to support it,” Pascale Piera, an MEP from the far-right Patriots for Europe group, told POLITICO. Piera leads negotiations for the Patriots on this file.

During an EPP leaders meeting on Tuesday, Weber said the group would aim at finding a right-wing majority on this sensitive green file given the Socialists had failed to support the first compromise, according to three officials with knowledge of the discussions.

Groups have until next Thursday to decide how to vote.
