Policy paper
2023
On 1 June 2023, the European Parliament agreed its compromise text for the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). This agreement means that the European Parliament has formed its negotiating position for the trialogue that is now underway between the Parliament, European Commission and Council of the European Union for the co-legislators to discuss the final text of the Directive. This issue sheet focuses on the applicability of, and implications for, the CSDDD to the arms industry and in relation to conflict-affected areas.
