"Omnibus" at breakneck speed - EU sustainability law in the fast lane
16.05.25
The EU Commission has presented a comprehensive package of measures that regulates and simplifies numerous sustainability requirements - at a noticeable pace since February 2025.
A "stop-the-clock" framework has already been adopted with great haste, and discussions on its further content have also gathered pace in the EU Member States, the Council and the European Parliament.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR COMPANIES IN LEGAL TERMS? What effects can be expected on CSRD, ESRS, Supply Chain Directive (CSDDD), taxonomy?
Our colleague Dr. Thomas M. Grupp provides answers in the current special edition of European Law News - including a classification of the planned measures and how they are reflected in the current CDU/CSU - SPD coalition agreement.

Focus on cartel damages - ECJ rules on the limits of collective redress
24.03.25
The new issue of Der Betrieb is published today with a specialist article by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Schnelle and Julian Munder from Haver & Mailänder's antitrust team.
The topic is a recent ECJ ruling that goes far beyond the specific case (round timber).
The key question is: What options does German law offer to represent companies that have suffered cartel damage in a bundled manner - e.g. through a so-called litigation vehicle or a specialized service provider?
Many of these providers are cheaper, more efficient and rely on digital processes. However, they come up against legal limits, particularly in the area of cartel damages - for example, because they have to instruct lawyers at regional courts and the classic debt collection authorization is not sufficient for this.
The article sheds light on how the ECJ assesses the role of such models and what practical consequences this has for injured companies - especially when it comes to defending themselves against cartel infringements in a structured and resource-saving manner rather than alone.
