Who provided the ideas for the deregulation proposals, the so-called Omnibus laws that has put the EU on course to destroy past achievements in areas like environmental protection, digital rights, social rights, and climate change? Our new report ‘This is what corporate capture looks like!’ shows how the ongoing campaign to ‘simplify’ European laws is developed, including how new consultation methods allow business groups (companies and business associations) to have a very direct say. In this webinar, Kenneth Haar, the main author of the report, presents the main findings – from new statistics on the Commission’s meetings to some thoughts on how this goes further than previous deregulation campaigns, not least when it comes to corporate capture. Finally, he presents some ideas on how to counter this development. 👉 https://corporateeurope.org/en/2026/04/what-corporate-capture-looks
