The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and other environmental and social associations have criticized the Commission’s „chaotic“, non-transparent, and, in their view, undemocratic omnibus procedure. The „Simplification Roundtable“ with Economic Affairs Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis on Thursday, which was set up as a participation round, was a lobbying event in which the aim was to have the agenda confirmed by the companies. This was stated by the organizations WWF, ETUC, Friends of the Earth, Share Action, and the European Coalition for Corporate Justice (ECCJ).
