> Dear All,
> 
> As you might already know, the Commission's DG Internal Market launched a 
> public consultation on non-financial disclosure by companies, a *unique 
> political opportunity*. Please see 
> http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/consultations/2010/non-financial_reporting_en.htm.
> 
> 
> This is THE OPPORTUNITY to call on the EU for mandatory reporting on
> social, environmental and human rights impacts for companies.
> 
> WE NEED AS MANY ORGANISATIONS AS POSSIBLE TO TAKE PART IN THIS. SO PLEASE
> SEND IN A SUBMISSION.
> 
> Note that the deadline for replies is *28th of 
> January*. We know it's very short, but find attached in this email 
> ECCJ's submission which should help you to reply.
> 
> You can either send in the ECCJ submission under your name or you can use
> parts of the submission. Or you can write your own of course.
> 
> If you use the ECCJ submission, please note the submission has to be
> adapted to your own national context. Feel free to adapt it with your own
> wording and you are more than welcome to add some *concrete cases* to
> questions 1 and 2 
> especially, in order to strengthen our position by showing the current 
> lack of transparency (cases of companies carrying out activities with 
> serious social and environmental impacts that do not disclose 
> non-financial information; examples of reports focusing on the less 
> controversial activities of companies etc). You can enclose those cases 
> studies at the end of your submission.
> 
> Please let us know if you take part.

> best
