EU Anti-Fraud Programme 2021-2027 COM(2018) 386, 30.5.2018, Procedure number: 2018/0211(COD) Our approach to making the UK “the best-regulated economy in the world” is set out in the “Benefits of Brexit” document published in January 2022. This approach is complemented by the reviews launched in September 2021 of the content and status of EU law maintained. The bill will allow the government, through Parliament, to update legislation based on substance review results and progress. Although a handful of countries have already passed laws requiring companies to comply with human rights due diligence and providing for civil or criminal liability for companies that fail to do so, it is too early to say whether their practices will serve as effective models. Nevertheless, the first cases in these countries could provide important signals for wider EU practice.

Four actions are currently pending in France under the French law on vigilance, whose structure is generally similar to that of the European Union project. How French courts interpret the extent of due diligence will be revealing, particularly in cases where a “vigilance plan” has been adopted but the measures taken by the company have not been sufficient to prevent business-related abuses. The Netherlands, Norway and Germany are in the process of adopting similar laws. The German Due Diligence Act, adopted in the summer of 2021 and entered into force on 1 January 2023, provides for significant penalties – up to 2% of a company`s global turnover for large companies and exclusion from public procurement for three years – for material violations, and other countries can adopt this sanction approach when implementing the EU Directive. in accordance with its request for financial penalties related to turnover.
