ISDA publishes position paper on Commission's proposed sustainability omnibus package

The International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) has published a position paper in response to the Commission's sustainability omnibus package. ISDA's response calls for a harmonised approach to derivatives within EU sustainable finance frameworks and recommends removing the trading book key performance indicator from taxonomy disclosures, noting that banks currently lack visibility into client investment objectives. ISDA has further proposed the inclusion of structured products in the upcoming level one review of the Sustainability Finance Disclosure Regulation. Additionally, ISDA advocates for scaling up carbon credits certified under the EU carbon certification removal framework and incorporating internationally verified carbon credits into the EU Emissions Trading System—contingent upon the resolution of consistency and clarity issues.

Court of Justice provides ruling on meaning of ‘promotional offer’ under EU E-Commerce Directive (Verbraucherzentrale Hamburg v bonprix)

EU Law analysis: In a referral from the German Federal Court, the Court of Justice made a preliminary ruling on the meaning of a ‘promotional offer’ in Article 6(c) of Directive 2000/31/EC, the EU E-Commerce Directive, which may affect the advertising of a range of deferred buying and payment arrangements advertised when making online purchases. It held that ‘promotional offer’ must be interpreted as covering an advertising message on a website which refers to a payment arrangement, if this provides an object advantage to consumers which may influence buying decisions. This therefore carries with it the requirement to provide clear information to consumers on the terms and conditions relating to the ‘promotion’. In the underlying German case, although the ruling does not provide detail on the ‘user journey’ when using the website in question, it seems the need for consumers to undergo a credit check was only disclosed during the ordering process, not in the earlier promotion of this payment facility on the website.

Commission seeks views on high-risk AI classification and obligations

The European Commission has launched a public consultation to inform the implementation of the EU AI Act's provisions on high-risk artificial intelligence systems. The consultation, conducted by the Commission, aims to gather practical examples and clarify the application of rules concerning high-risk systems, which include those critical to product safety under EU law and those significantly impacting health, safety, or fundamental rights.

Stakeholders such as developers, users, public authorities, academia, civil society, and citizens are encouraged to participate. The consultation runs until 18 July 2025.

Commission adopts Ocean Pact to safeguard marine health and economy

The European Commission has adopted the European Ocean Pact, a comprehensive strategy designed to protect marine ecosystems, boost the competitiveness of the sustainable blue economy and enhance the resilience of coastal, island and outermost communities. The Pact, introduced by President von der Leyen and endorsed by the European Council in March 2025, unifies existing EU ocean policies under a single framework. It establishes six priority areas: restoring ocean health; strengthening the sustainable blue economy through new maritime and fisheries strategies; empowering coastal regions via dedicated development initiatives; advancing ocean knowledge and innovation; enhancing maritime security and defence; and reinforcing international ocean governance. The Pact includes commitments to revise key directives, support blue carbon reserves, implement digital monitoring systems, and promote youth engagement through an EU Ocean Youth Ambassador Network. Implementation will be guided by a forthcoming Ocean Act in 2027, a high-level Ocean Board, and a publicly accessible EU Ocean Pact dashboard to monitor progress. The Pact will be presented by President von der Leyen at the United Nations Ocean Conference on 9 June 2025.
