In December 2023, the EU Member States and the European Parliament agreed on a directive on corporate accountability along global supply chains – the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D) (henceforth: CS3D trilogue agreement). Adoption by the EU Council on 9 February 2024 was considered a formality. However, Germany's veto threatened to derail the directive in the final phase and led to re-negotiations resulting in a new version published on 15 March 20­24 and formally approved by the EU Council on 24 May 2024 (henceforth: CS3D compromise).
