European climate resilience and risk management lawfiled 2 Sept 2025source

DECO recognises the relevance of the European initiative on climate resilience and risk management. Climate change is no longer an abstract threat; its effects are visible today through phenomena such as heatwaves, prolonged droughts, floods, fires and storms of increasing intensity.

Payment services in the internal marketfiled 16 Aug 2023source

DECO welcome this proposal. We consider the PSD2 needs to be profoundly revised especially regarding fraud, liability and redress. General comments: The proposals to address consumer/user confidence by enhancing their protection are very much welcome.

Restriction on CMRs in childcare articlesfiled 3 Jun 2026PDFsource

DECO welcomes the European Commission's proposal to ban CMR 1A/1B substances in childcare products. As extensively documented by ECHA, such products represent a substantial and largely unregulated pathway through which children may be exposed to CMR 1A/1B substances.
