🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 4 days left to stop this. Don't let them destroy our rivers, forests & wildlife in silence. Don't let them scrap the rules that are there to protect us and our children #HandsOffNature handsoffnature.eu?utm=.share.b...

Europe’s competitiveness and citizens would benefit from stronger chemicals rules: close the info gap, phase out harmful substances, and ensure proper enforcement. By Margot Wallström, former vice president @ec.europa.eu, Jytte Guteland and @matsengstrom.bsky.social www.politico.eu/article/prop...
Proposed simplification of EU chemicals legislation masks deregulation
Undermining vital legislation will harm people, the environment and the economy — not to mention citizens’ confidence in the bloc.

✉️ In July, the Commission will present its proposal for the new Multiannual Financial Framework post-2027. 67 MEPs call for LIFE to remain independent because it’s key to biodiversity. The environment is not a cost; it’s an investment in our future.
🚨 LIVE FROM STRASBOURG-GOOD NEWS! The European Parliament ends the ‘scandal that wasn’t’! Today, MEPs made it clear: funding for NGOs under the EU’s LIFE programme is legal, transparent, and essential to a healthy democracy.
Home working with a view🤩🐿❤️ (PS: I think this little guy comes with a clear message: Protect the EU environmental acquis)!
🛑 Civil society is under attack — and so is our democracy. NGOs across Europe face a coordinated disinformation campaign led by far-right forces trying to silence the voices that defend people, planet, and democracy. Our @faustine-bd.bsky.social and @saskiabricmont.bsky.social on Station Europe.
Ces attaques (infondées) contre les ONGs pour leur couper tout subsides deviennent de plus en plus récurrentes hélas, voir aussi au niveau européen (avec @faustine-bd.bsky.social du @eeb.org dans l’itv ci-dessous). bx1.be/emission/sta...

Ursula von der Leyen should learn from the backlash 2004 against the 'Bolkestein directive' and consult closely with trade unions + civil society before presenting a wide-ranging #omnibus deregulation act. @estherlynch.bsky.social @judekd.bsky.social @arcapde.bsky.social @faustine-bd.bsky.social
The 3rd of December 2024 will sadly be remembered as the day when- against science and citizens' demands- the European Union started a suicidal backtracking on one of its most successful conservation efforts. 😢👇
