The EU, is not able to take a stance on their principles, not even on those written in their trading agreements, with explicit guidelines and principles laws, written and declared as, the fundamental aspects, to respect, for the trading partners to uphold: Like human rights, to be respected.
They didn’t cared of the respect by the trading partners, just invested billions over billions anyway. So the EU is completely complicit and intertwined in structural projects undermining their own principles of trading guidelines.
That is why the EU, has to de-regulate the report regulations of their business companies, of their partners and their trading- investment- and supply chain management, which should have been in accordance, with these regulations and principles and not to violate any international trade regulations and laws, which are not in line with human rights principles or with climate goals and regulations. If they would have to report and act strictly, as their principles for trading partners and supply chains, would have to be monitored and controlled, they would expose their many violations of not acting in accordance to it’s principles. So they had to de-regulate the report and monitoring standards again, for the next years, to keep their investments like they are, now.
But agree to a willingness, to adopt the future regulations, for the future investments, to become regulated principles and standards at a later date.
