On Tuesday, the French National Assembly finally adopted the bill to simplify economic life and reduce the administrative burden on businesses. While Impact France welcomes the inclusion of a number of simplification measures in response to needs expressed by companies in the field, we regret that the bill's adoption has entrenched further major steps backwards in terms of sustainability, also contributing to the regulatory instability that is undermining our economic fabric.

Faced with the slow pace of adoption of the text, more than a hundred leaders are mobilizing and calling for stability and consistency in decisions to guarantee France's energy resilience and justice, strategic levers at the heart of the competitiveness of our economy and our sovereignty.

Impact France, along with Mobilians and the Alliance des Mobilités, SesamLLD, Ilec, C3D and ADRA are joining forces to encourage a change in the way mobility credit is handled.

The day after the Senate debate on the bill to reduce the environmental impact of the textile industry, Impact France and En Mode Climat welcome the new amendments voted by the Senators in public session, which will be put to a formal vote on June 10. The maintenance of penalties, their indexation on the sustainability coefficient and the reintroduction of a total ban on advertising for ultra fast fashion brands are positive signals. The next stage, discussions in the Joint Parliamentary Committee (CMP), will be crucial in clarifying the implementation and scope of the bonus and penalty system.

As announced in its Compass for Competitiveness, the European Commission published a strategy for start-ups and scale-ups on May 28, 2025. While some of the proposed measures echo the current needs of start-ups, the strategy fails to recognize the rightful place of social and ecological innovation in the race for global competitiveness.
