Macron and Merz call to abolish EU law on ethical supply chains

 

Citation

Emmanuel Macron may have just sounded the death knell for one of Europe’s most controversial green laws.

In a speech at Versailles on Monday, the French president called for the abolition of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, a law that requires companies to monitor their global suppliers for human rights and environmental abuses. Many businesses loathe it.

 

“CSDDD and some other regulations has not just to be postponed for one year, but to be put off the table,” Macron told an audience of business executives, who cheered.

 

Macron’s comments followed a similar statement from German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who called for “complete repeal” of the directive on a visit to Brussels earlier this month.

“Clearly, we are very aligned now with Chancellor Merz and some other colleagues,” Macron said.

Maintenant que c’est trop tard et alors qu’il était prévenu. C’est pratique.

Mieux vaut tard que jamais...

Mais les boîtes qui ont investi dans la CS3D ne vont pas apprécier.

il y a 2 minutes, fm06 a dit :

Mieux vaut tard que jamais...

C’est équivalent. Macron a soutenu les deux versions de la CS3D (y compris l’originale encore plus pourrie).

En même temps l’industrie allemande est en train de cracher ses poumons. C’est sûrement plus Merz que Macron.

 

Et aucun journaliste ne lui a demandé la perspective sur le taux d’IS en France ? Nan parce que c’est comique de continuer à organiser ce genre de festival, en m’empêchant de faire une balade à vélo dans le Parc du Château, alors que le taux d’IS effectif cette année pour les investisseurs ciblés par ce machin doit être à 45%

"The European ‘exit taxes’"

 

Citation

Germany, Norway and Belgium have imposed more stringent exit taxes in the past year. These levies are aimed at curbing the number of departures by rich residents by imposing a one-off tax on the value of their assets when they leave.

 

 

The Dutch government has also commissioned a report to explore the feasibility of imposing an exit tax for emigrants as part of wider measures to combat tax avoidance.

The raid comes as a number of high-tax European countries seek to stem the flow of high-net-worth individuals fleeing to low-tax nations such as Switzerland, Monaco and the United Arab Emirates.

 

A report by advisory firm Henley & Partners predicted that a net 16,500 millionaires will quit Britain in 2025, up from 10,800 last year.

While the study found Britain is forecast to suffer the greatest exodus, other European countries such as France, Spain and Germany are also struggling to retain the wealthy, with net departures of 800, 500 and 400, respectively.

 

The UAE stands to gain 9,800 millionaires this year, and Switzerland 3,000.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies and economists have suggested the UK should also consider an exit tax system to stem the outflow of wealthy Britons 

“There will always be some people who wish to move overseas but the vast majority of business owners do not wish to do so and are satisfied with paying capital gains tax at the current rates.

 

“However, that could change if capital gains tax rates were pushed up higher as it might prompt more individuals to move abroad, with calls for an exit charge likely to increase as a result.”

Ms Reeves could follow the example of Germany, which levies unrealised capital gains at around 27pc, in line with the standard rate in the country. In Norway, the levy is as high as 38pc, but this has not stopped a number of high-profile individuals from leaving the country.

Évidemment, sur ces sujets, on n’entend pas la CJUE défendre la liberté de circulation des capitaux. 
 

Entre ça et la liquidation progressive de Schengen, la partie libérale du projet européen est en voie d’extinction.
