In response to criticism over compliance costs, the European Commission has amended the regulation through the \"Omnibus Package\", which limits company liability to direct suppliers and delays the initial application. While this reduces bureaucratic costs, it undermines the regulation's effectiveness, as potential breaches rather occur in lower tiers. High due diligence costs and opaque supply chains further complicate the issue. Adopting systemic solutions for supply chain regulation, rather than non-standardised due diligence procedures, would more effectively address the trade-off between regulatory efficiency and effectiveness.","onlinedate":"2025-09-25 02:00:00","lang":"English","publication_series":"","publication_date":"20250925","publication_date_year":"","publication_date_full":true,"publication_num_pages":"7","keywords":"[]","jelcodes":"[\"F13\",\"F18\",\"Q56\"]","related_publications":"[]","pdf":null,"zip":null,"link":"https:\/\/www.suerf.org\/publications\/suerf-policy-notes-and-briefs\/the-dual-challenge-of-cost-efficiency-and-effectiveness-in-eu-supply-chain-regulation\/","monthly_report":false,"monthly_report_main":false,"monthly_report_volume":"","monthly_report_pages":"","monthly_report_pages_sort":"0","issue":"1261","journal":"SUERF Policy Brief","publisher":"Oesterreichische Nationalbank","invisible":false,"external":true,"embargo_date":null,"types":[125862],"research_groups":[3491],"collaboration":"","persons":[3587,18213,4377],"persons_data":"[{\"personId\":3587,\"personName\":\"Klaus Friesenbichler\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":18213,\"personName\":\"Peter Klimek\",\"organisationNames\":[\"ASCII\",\"CSH Vienna\"]},{\"personId\":4377,\"personName\":\"Birgit Meyer\",\"organisationNames\":[]}]","clients":[],"subclients":[],"partners":[],"topics":[125684],"host_publication_title":"","host_publication_subtitle":"","place_of_publication":"","host_publication_editors":"[]","type_description":"","output_media":"","chapter":"","article_number":"","scientific_assistance":"[\"Strauss-Kollin Anna\"]","scientific_review":"[]","version":"","release_date":null,"expiration_date":null,"surveyor":"","research_assistance":"","edv":"","additional_info_de":"","additional_info_en":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
