Today’s victory is all the more striking given that the EPP group attempted to derail the compromise in the plenary. We must seize this opportunity to leverage the power of business to strengthen the respect for human rights and to fight environmental destruction.

The compromise adopted today provides for a forward-looking and consistent legislation, based on widely accepted international standards. It will effectively level the playing field by preventing competitive advantage from irresponsible business activity.
