17a. Calls on the Commission to ensure that an obligation for systematic reporting on essential information on sustainability does not overburden companies as any new CSR strategy needs to be welcomed by companies; calls on the Commission to allow for a transition period before non- financial reporting on a regular basis comes into force for companies as this transition period would provide companies with the opportunity to first properly implement CSR internally, putting in place an accurate and detailed CSR policy as part of their internal management systems;
