The last plenary session of the European Parliament – in its current composition before the next elections in June – took place from 22 to 25 April 2024. The session resulted in major developments, which will significantly shape the future of the business and human rights landscape, with the adoption of the regulation on prohibiting products made with forced labour on the Union market (the "EU Forced Labour Import Ban") and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (the "CS3D").

The European Council finalised its position on the Commission’s proposal on 30 November 2022and on 1st June 2023, the European Parliament adopted and put forward its own version of the proposal.
