Secondly, we ask to be indicated in the annex as involved DG for these consumer
empowerment initiatives.
Thirdly, we ask to reformulate the current reference to DG JUST’s sustainable corporate
governance initiative to make sure that it is aligned with the text as adopted in the
Circular Economy action plan which foresees adoption of the proposal by 2020/2021.
The current wording in Section 2.2 (final paragraph) refers to a possible longer-term
action: “
In the longer term, this could lead to rules on sustainable corporate governance
that will require the food industry to integrate sustainability into corporate strategies.”
However, this is not correct and it will need to be changed as follows: “
The Commission
is also preparing an initiative to improve the corporate governance framework across
industries and thereby including a possible requirement also for the food industry to
integrate sustainability into corporate strategies (proposal in 2020/2021).”
