The EU Parliament approved an adopted text for NISD2 earlier today:<br class="">
<br class="">
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-9-2022-0383_EN.pdf">https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-9-2022-0383_EN.pdf</a><br class="">
<br class="">
There are several stages to go before this is finalised as a directive,
and several more before it can be passed as legislation by national
parliaments, but this text is unlikely to undergo any more substantial
changes.<br class="">
