After over 25 years of trying to force through an unsustainable and unfair trade deal, it’s time for EU leaders to face the inescapable truth: it’s never going to happen! EU & Mercosur leaders must reject this toxic deal & work instead to develop a truly sustainable relationship. #StopEUMercosur

Das EU-Parlament hat gestern per Beschluss die Einhaltung von europäischen Umwelt- und Gesundheitsstandards beim Import von #Mercosur -Produkten eingefordert. In der heutigen vorläufigen Einigung mit den Regierungen ist davon nichts zu lesen. www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/pres...

#StopUEMercosur Le compromis sur les mesures de sauvegarde agricoles est une trahison. Trop faibles, non automatiques, sans vraie clause de réciprocité, elles n’apporteront aucune protection face à la concurrence déloyale. Les agriculteurs sont sacrifiés sur l'autel du libre échange.

#EUMercosur: rumours are there may be a hasty attempt at a trilogue tomorrow if MEPs amend the safeguards for farmers today Trying to wrap up 25 years of sensitive talks in a single day in one of the busiest weeks of the year = desperation Meanwhile, Italy too now wants a delay Read the room VDL!

📣 New article out: ☠️ Pesticide lobby opportunism: using farmer protests in attempts to slash EU safety rules for #pesticides. #deregulation #omnibus 👉 But free trade deal #EU-Mercosur opposition shows farmers' and pesticide industry's interests do not align. corporateeurope.org/en/2025/12/p...

JBS, the world's biggest meat company, stands to benefit greatly from the EU-Mercosur deal. Another reason to oppose the toxic trade agreement as it will benefit predatory agribusinesses. valorinternational.globo.com/agribusiness...

C'est vraiment DESOLANT d'entendre B. Duhamel sur France Inter asséner qu'il ne peut y avoir de minorité de blocage contre l'Accord UE-Mercosur alors que les pro-Mercosur N'ont PAS de majorité qualifiée si la France s'y opposait avec force Détails : www.collectifstoptafta.org/IMG/pdf/merc...

"we asked grok" "we asked chatgpt" yeah well we asked an orca in the '70s and it told us to fight whaling and protect the oceans

[BONNE NOUVELLE] Ce 27 nov. une très grande majorité de députés votent une résolution appelant E. Macron à s'opposer à l'accord UE-Mercosur et à construire une minorité de blocage, pas à négocier une clause de sauvegarde inefficace. Notre réaction : www.collectifstoptafta.org/accord-ue-me...

Roberta Metsola @president.europarl.europa.eu denied a request from 145 MEPs to ask for a legal opinion on the #EUMercosur deal Her argument - that the EU has to sign the deal before MEPs can ask the Court of Justice to check its legality - is plainly and obviously wrong Here's why:

Europe considers these pesticides too toxic for use at home - yet exports them to other countries✈️ This double standard is deadly and needs to end. 🌍 Watch civil society and farmer organisations around the world send them back to Brussels 👇 #ReturnToSender #BanToxicExports #StopEUMercosur

La Présidente du Parlement 🇪🇺 a rejeté notre demande de saisir la CJUE sur l’accord UE–Mercosur. Rien ne s’y opposait juridiquement : ce refus semble être une ingérence politique. J’ai fait un rappel au règlement en séance plénière, pour faire valoir notre droit à saisir la justice européenne⬇️

Nous étions aux côtés de la @ConfPaysanne ce lundi 24 novembre devant le Parlement UE à Strasbourg pour dire « L’accord de libre-échange UE-Mercosur, nous n’en voulons pas, clause de sauvegarde ou pas » #StopEUMercosur Photos et précisions : www.collectifstoptafta.org/accord-ue-me...

🚨Le #ToxicTradeTour s’est achevé à BXL aujd, avec un message clair pour Von der Leyen et Bart de Wever : 📢Stoppez l’accord #UEmercosur car il est toxique : pour l’agriculture, la santé, le climat, l’environnement et la biodiversité, les droits sociaux et les droits humains, en 🇪🇺 et dans le Mercosur.

The #ToxicTradeTour hit Brussels this morning with pesticide barrels & green sludge showing what’s at stake when leaders won't answer for trade justice. 🇪🇺 Commission President von der Leyen & 🇧🇪 PM de Wever: will you choose farmers, nature & people above corporate profits? Will you #StopEUMercosur?

While @president.europarl.europa.eu plays dirty tricks to stop MEPs from referring the EU-Mercosur deal to the courts, opposition to this dangerous deal is intensifying in the streets! A #StopEUMercosur 🧵 💥 Last week, @greenpeace.fr protested in front of the Eiffel tower bsky.app/profile/gree...

The EU-Mercosur trade deal will be a disaster for rainforests and other natural ecosystems in South America, as well as the climate. Every environmentalist should be fighting this. share.google/FkOsGQPzuMDO...

🚨Alerte ! Notre recours contre l’accord UE-Mercosur porte devant la CJUE, signé par 145 parlementaires, vient d’être bloqué par la présidente du Parlement 🇪🇺 qui refuse qu'il soit examiné tant que l'accord n'est pas signé par le conseil. C’est un scandale démocratique. Ne les laissons pas faire !

EU Parliament President @president.europarl.europa.eu blocking her own institution from voting? Outrageous. +Ironic, given that the motion is about asking the advice of the EU Court of Justice, in order to guarantee that the EU-Mercosur deal is aligned with EU law. www.euractiv.com/news/meps-bl...

What are you afraid of @president.europarl.europa.eu ?

Rien n'est joué: la décision finale sera prise ce soir en conférence des présidents. Ecrivez à Roberta Metsola, pour lui demander de respecter le droit européen et d'accepter notre demande d'aller à la Cour : [email protected] Le combat n'est pas fini, merci pour votre soutien !

INDIGENOUS RIGHTS NOW ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 On Monday 17 November, the Indigenous Peoples’ March brought Indigenous Peoples and activists into the streets of Belém to mark Indigenous Peoples’ Day at #COP30 and open the second week of the conference. #IndigenousRights #RespectTheAmazon

Can someone explain me how the EP can vote a text on safeguards that refers to trade agreements that we haven't voted on yet 🤨... The EP pressurised by the EPP leadership is weakening the Parliament’s role and trying to bypass a lawful request of 145 MEPs (Art.218.11 TFEU).

145 MEPs tabled a motion to refer the EU-Mercosur deal to the Court of Justice of the EU The EPP wants to block that motion at a key meeting TONIGHT Why? If the deal is legal, let the courts say so What’s the EPP afraid of? Is it because they think the court will find an issue? #StopEUMercosur

The EU-Mercosur “safeguard clause” isn’t a safeguard. It won’t protect farmers or local markets. ECVC urges the EU to reject this deal. Join us in Brussels on 24 Nov to say NO to EU-Mercosur! Read more: www.eurovia.org/press-releas...

2/ La réalité, c’est que cet accord renforcerait l’agro-industrie, celle-là même qui rase la forêt, expulse les peuples autochtones et détruit les écosystèmes. Et tout cela… alors que la #COP30 se tient aux portes de l’Amazonie. Un contresens absolu.

[ 🧵 THREAD] Macron doit vraiment dire NON au Mercosur Ce matin, nous nous sommes mobilisés pour appeler Emmanuel Macron à rejeter entièrement l’accord UE-Mercosur et à faire le travail diplomatique nécessaire pour qu’il soit enterré au niveau européen

🙌We are joining 127 organisations demanding the Commission to halt its highly damaging digital omnibus. The Commission's leaked proposal threatens to: ❌Pause the AI Act ❌Weaken the GDPR to enable AI companies to hoover up personal data This would be a major Big Tech win 👉 edri.org/wp-content/u...

🚨For the first time, @europarl.europa.eu has adopted a legislative mandate thanks to an alliance between conservatives & the far right This vote marks a dangerous turning point for EU democracy. When anti-EU forces & lobbies write the rules, accountability dies corporatejustice.org/news/press-r...

What would you say to someone who thinks the EU-Mercosur deal is just about economic opportunity? Dinamam Tuxá @apiboficial.bsky.social is an Indigenous leader of the Tuxá people, from the Tuxá Indigenous Land in Brazil. He came to Brussels to tell EU leaders exactly why the deal is so harmful.

During dry season, the Amazon region chokes on smoke from fires deliberately set to clear new land for cattle, poisoning local communities with toxic air. Sign the petition to urge world leaders at #COP30 to end forest destruction. 👉 act.gp/RespectTheAmazon #RespectTheAmazon #StopBigAg

The EU banned epoxiconazole, but still produces it to export to the Global South! It is a fungicide banned in2020, toxic to reproduction as it negatively impacts fertility, a healthy pregnancy, concerns to cause cancer, & very toxic to aquatic life, birds and wild animals. Let's return it to sender!

Today is #WorldFoodDay ! It happens that EU bans toxic pesticides... but then still exports them to all corners of the world. And that is ⤴️ ever more: 120.000 tons in 2024, so we decided to send them back to the Commission. They have been waiting 5 years to act & stop this unethical double standard!

At @socialistsanddemocrats.eu Latin America event, Marita Gonzalez, representing Mercosur trade unions, makes a clear statement: for us trade unions, this EU-Mercosur deal does NOT guarantee a sustainable and inclusive development. Will S&D MEPs listen & say NO to this toxic deal? #StopEUMercosur

The NZ Govt has admitted that new methane targets do not align with goals to keep global warming below 1.5C - a limit set in place to prevent catastrophic climate change. The move breaches both international law and free trade agreements with the EU and the UK. newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/15/c... #nzpol

Forests are vital for life on Earth, yet banks and agribusiness keep profiting from their destruction. Last year, 8 million hectares vanished, half the size of England. At #COP30 in the Amazon, leaders must act to end deforestation and make polluters pay. #RespectTheAmazon #MakePollutersPay

A recent Greenpeace Brazil investigation links JBS, the world’s largest meat producer, to cattle raised illegally on protected Indigenous land in the Amazon. Yet EU leaders are pushing the #EUMercosur deal that would boost such exports. At #COP30 they must choose forests over profit.

Vier Fachleute haben rechtliche Zweifel am #Mercosur-Abkommen. Nicht nur den Kniff der Kommission, das Abkommen in zwei Teile zu spalten, halten sie für fraglich. Der Vertragstext enthalte auch ein Element, dass die europäische Umwelt- & Klimagesetzgebung behindern könnte (Test/Abo) 👉 t1p.de/k8e22

Until the EU Deforestation law is implemented, the EU has no means to stop meat linked to the violation of Indigenous rights from being sold in the EU.😫 And the EU-Mercosur trade deal will boost precisely this kind of risky trade! ☠️ MEPs must: 👉 push against #EUDR delay 👉 reject EU-Mercosur deal

The European Commission has shown the world that it is hostage to industries and their political friends who are hellbent on squeezing every cent out of the destruction of the natural world Our comment on the EU *again* delaying its vital law to protect the world's forests, #EUDR

The EU's exports of illegal, highly toxic pesticides have INCREASED in past years. Brazil is one of the top buyers. The EU-Mercosur deal will make this dangerous trade even more profitable for the European chemical sector. #StopEUMercosur #StopToxicTrade unearthed.greenpeace.org/2025/09/23/e...
