Corporate courts are on the agenda at the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels. Our campaigner @cleodierickard.bsky.social reports back from Santa Marta. #climatejustice #endISDS

Over 340 groups around the world have called upon their governments to start freeing themselves from a little-known system of secretive tribunals called ISDS. #stopISDS

NEW: The UK ranks WORST in Europe for propping up a secretive ‘corporate court’ system Our new joint report and scorecard with orgs including @powershift.bsky.social @caneurope.org and others exposes the countries holding up the shadowy ISDS regime www.globaljustice.org.uk/resource/eur...

The UK ranks worst in Europe for perpetuating the harms of ISDS. New joint research launched today ranks 30 European countries and puts the UK top of the list. As @thomaswills.bsky.social says, this is “not an economic necessity, it is a political choice.” #ISDS #TradeJustice #ClimateJustice

A little known system of secretive tribunals allows corporations to sue governments outside of national legal systems over laws and policies they don't like It's called ISDS and it's written into investment treaties It's been used to sue over climate, health, chemical safety - everything really

1️⃣ Nouveau rapport | Indice européen de l’arbitrage d’investissement La France est classée 4ᵉ pays d’Europe le plus impliqué dans le régime d’arbitrage d’investissement (RDIE / ISDS). Un système qui permet aux multinationales d’attaquer les États pour leurs politiques publiques. 🧵⬇️

GTW is on the ground in Cameroon and witnessed the dysfunction of this WTO Ministerial #MC14 and Trump’s erratic trade ‘agenda’. Our full statement: t.co/Hwc99UjJsK

Stiglitz, Piketty, Ghosh, Chang and over 200 other experts call for an "unwinding" of ISDS Writing to Colombian president Petro, ahead of the fossil fuel transition conf he will host next month, they say ISDS is a system for "paying polluters" that stands in the way of that transition #stopISDS

NUEVO: Tras la intervención EE UU en las elecciones hondureñas, IPS se une a organizaciones hondureñas e internacionales para denunciar el retorno a un sistema orientado a proteger a los inversores en detrimento del pueblo hondureño. #StopISDS

NEW: On the heels of U.S. intervention in Honduran elections, IPS joins Honduran partners and international allies to denounce a return to a system meant to maximize protections for investors to the detriment of the Honduran people. #StopISDS Statement:

The Trump administration is using U.S. trade power and extreme tariffs to bully other countries into binding agreements that undermine affordable and readily available access to medicines. Experts from around the world offer an alternate vision:

“Those who genuinely want to help the movement should study the rich and powerful, not the poor and powerless...The poor and powerless already know what is wrong with their lives and those who want to help them should analyse the forces that keep them where they are.” Susan George RIP

Aujourd'hui, je suis, nous sommes, immensément tristes de vous faire part du décès de Susan George, notre amie, complice, camarade avec qui nous avons partagé tant d'engagements au sein mouvement altermondialiste. Susan, à jamais dans nos coeurs & nos pensées, tu nous manques déjà.

The US’s latest trade ‘deal’ aims at price floors, trade blocs and heavy state intervention. More like Britain’s ‘imperial preference’ in the 30s, than 90s neoliberalism. As befits a dying empire. www.state.gov/releases/off...

Hardly any details are known yet about the proposed Greenland deal. But we need them in order to decide how to proceed with the implemantation of the EU-US trade deal. @EP_Trade will revisit the issue on Monday and discuss the way forward. (3/3)

Great News! Mercosur will be referred to ECJ 🙌🏻

Some GOOD news today 💥 The EU Parliament sent the #EUMercosur deal to the Court of Justice for review! This puts approval on hold while judges assess legal red flags that threaten EU autonomy, democracy, climate & social protections. One more barrier to #StopEUMercosur in its tracks!

🔴 BREAKING: Das EU-Parlament hat beschlossen, das EU-Mercosur-Handelsabkommen vom Europäischen Gerichtshof überprüfen zu lassen. Warum das gute Nachrichten sind und wie es jetzt weiter geht, erklärt Euch unsere Handelsreferentin Bettina Müller.

Oh the irony: The EU gets off Russian gas so it can't be weaponised (eg support for Ukraine), and gets onto US LNG. But now Trump looks like he's going to weaponise it to stop any reaction over Greenland. There was a moment just after Russia's invasion when the EU could have taken another path...

FANTASTIC NEWS The European Parliament has voted to send the #EUMercosur trade deal to the European Court of Justice for a legal review This dodgy deal must be stopped – it would be highly undemocratic for the EU Commission and national governments to push for ratification #StopEUMercosur

#Trade & #GlobalEurope: #EU Parliament freezes #US trade deal ratification after Trump's tariff threats over #Greenland | Le Monde www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

Eine Mehrheit im Europäischen Parlament hat eben beschlossen, das Mercosur-Abkommen vom EuGH prüfen zu lassen. Handelsabkommen müssen juristisch wasserdicht sein. Die Messlatte ist klar: Vereinbarkeit mit den EU-Verträgen. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger.

VOTE : l'accord de libre-échange UE-Mercosur est renvoyé devant la Cour de justice de l'Union européenne, suspendant (normalement) toute ratification. Preuve que cet accord le plus nocif de l'UE ne fait pas consensus en UE. Pas plus que la politique commerciale de l'UE.

#BREAKING Résolution adoptée au @europarl.europa.eu pour saisir la @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social sur la compatibilité de l'accord #UE #Mercosur avec le droit européen à 10 voix près ⚖️ 🗳️

🎉 Fantastique: le Parlement adopte ma résolution demandant à la CJUE de vérifier la compatibilité de l’accord UE-Mercosur avec le droit #UE ⏸️ Le vote gèle la ratification au Parlement jusqu’au verdict ✊ Le combat continue: je mettrai toute mon énergie pour faire rejeter cet accord #UEMercosur

EU-Mercosur deal is taken to the court ⚖️ It is not yet a done deal; we can still #StopEUMercosur!

The European Parliament has voted to send the #EU-Mercosur trade agreement to the Court of Justice to see if it is compatible with EU law This is a victory for democracy and the rule of law 334 votes in favour, 324 against, 11 abstentions

If the agreement is perfectly compatible with the EU treaties, why is the EPP against getting a greenlight from the Court before ratification of an agreement that will last several decades? Don't you want all facts & evidence on the table ? What are you afraid of, @eppgroup.bsky.social ?

"Trump is not invincible, but we need some backbone to end his bullying and begin to build an economy which is more independent and secure from far-right leaders like Trump." Our media manager @anita-bh.bsky.social for @lbc.co.uk 👇🏽 www.lbc.co.uk/article/trad...

“The report shows that really we are not just talking about some money that buys luxury goods of consumption, but it's really money that buys politics, elections, that buys judges, that influence politics,“ Chiara Putaturo from Oxfam told EUobserver.

❌Signed, but not yet a done deal! The deal moves next to European Parliament for ratification, but before that, (on Wednesday 👀), the Parliament is scheduled to vote on a motion to request an opinion from the European Court of Justice on the deal’s compatibility with EU law.

EU governments have approved a disastrous #EUMercosur trade deal, despite widespread opposition Commission president von der Leyen is expected to sign it next week in Paraguay, but the EU Parliament still needs to have its say This isn't over yet! #StopEUMercosur

Today is the first time the council has failed to back a trade agreement unanimously. 68.7% of the EU population supported the EU-Mercosur deal, just above the required 65% figure

Member states have approved the EU-Mercosur deal which is set to increase imports of animal products from highly intensive systems! All eyes on the European Parliament to oppose the ratification of this deal. Read more ⤵️ eurogroupforanimals.org/news/eu-merc...

The EU–Mercosur deal is the worst-handled trade agreement by the Council. With major environmental and health risks and limited economic gains—even according to the Commission—was it worth it? Forcing it through will leave lasting damage to the EU.

Wer glaubt, geopolitischen Krisen lassen sich lösen, indem man Klima- und Umweltschutz sowie soziale Gerechtigkeit den Interessen der Auto- und Pestizidkonzerne opfert, wird enttäuscht werden. #Mercosur Ein EU-Handelsabkommen erstmals gegen 🇦🇹 🇫🇷 🇵🇱 🇮🇪 🇧🇪 🇭🇺 durchzuboxen, wird die EU nicht stärken.

In einem beispiellosen Verfahren hat eine qualifizierte Mehrheit der EU-Mitgliedsstaaten dem umstrittenen EU-Mercosur-Abkommen heute zugestimmt. Mit dem Netzwerk Gerechter Welthandel verurteilen wir die Missachtung der Kritik und Sorge um die Auswirkungen des Abkommens. #StopEUMercosur

🚨BREAKING: EU leaders just approved the toxic #EUMercosur deal ignoring 25 years of dissent from farmers ➕ civil society ➕ trade unions ➕ Indigenous Peoples It’s the 1st time in EU trade history a deal has been pushed through without all Member States’ consent, overruling major European countries.
