German Economy Minister Robert Habeck has raised the possibility of suspending the German Supply Chain Act for two years until its EU counterpart comes into force Europe-wide. The aim is to relieve companies of bureaucracy. „We can pause it. That would be the best thing. I think that is absolutely feasible,“ Habeck said at an event for family-run businesses, adding that suspending the national law could be a liberating move for companies. Previously, the family business owners in attendance had cited the Supply Chain Act as a concrete example of the burdens imposed by legal requirements.
