Good news! #EUMercosur signing delayed until January, thanks to Farmer mobilisations. #StopEUMercosur: stopeumercosur.org/take-action/ www.politico.eu/article/merc...

#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!

#EUMercosur: "The procedure led by the European Commission has been chaotic, untransparent and, more importantly, raises significant legal issues." How so? Read @audreychangoe.bsky.social & EU law expert Professor Nicolas De Sadeleer's great roundup to find out 👇

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

It's clear that EU-Mercosur deal is climate-wrecking. But legally speaking, it also has many odd elements, including: 🔪Splitting vs Commission's negotiations mandate 🥶Risk of freezing environmental legislations 🌎Alignment with Paris Agreement It is not a done deal. Take action to #StopEUMercosur 👇

Last week, we got more details about the US-EU trade deal... and it does not look good. CSDDD, CSDR, CBAM, EUDR, gas, nuclear, cars, meat &more - all in there, not in a positive way. This is just another example of the EU’s willingness to give up on the climate and energy transition commitments.

⚠️The new EU-US trade deal risks locking EU into long-term dependence on fracked US gas, undermining the Green Deal’s climate goals and the EU Methane Regulation. 👉 Our policy experts Esther Bollendorff and @audreychangoe.bsky.social share their concerns with @obsclima.bsky.social 🔗 shorturl.at/QZBUy

New legal analysis of the #EUMercosur trade deal draws worrying conclusion👇- its rebalancing mechanism could serve to pressure EU countries into weakening their green regulations and cause a regulatory chill, further jeapordising the European Green Deal. #StopEUMercosur

🪚This week, nationwide strike in Argentina called to shut down Milei's chainsaw economic measures. ⛔If ratified, the #EUMercosur trade deal would only reinforce Milei's destructive economic package. That's why we need to #StopEUMercosur. ⬇️Read more about the dangers of Mileinomics on our report⬇️

It's such a familiar pattern. These tribunals (formally known as ISDS) exist to privilege corporate power over people's power - they were invented in the face of anti-colonial independence struggles to ensure big business could override newly democratic countries. They're basically corporate courts

Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

Israel has killed 400+ Palestinians in the deadliest 24 hrs in Gaza since 2023, violating its own ceasefire agreement. Netanyahu, his US allies, & the oil companies fueling this genocide have blood on their hands. The genocide in Palestine must end today. bit.ly/3FQKIuX

The EU needs more equal and fair trade partnerships, based on solidarity and cooperation. Not deals that rest on exploitation, extractivism and resource grab. Negotiators are rushing the Indonesia-EU #CEPA. 120+ groups warn it will fail the environment, climate and human & Indigenous rights.

Today's debate about the toxic EU-Mercosur trade deal in the EU Parliament was more interesting than expected. I counted 35 MEPs who spoke against the agreement, 21 in favour, whereas the other speakers seemed undecided / having conditions in place which they were still analysing. (1/2)

During today’s debate, the @EU_Commission once again claimed that the #EUMercosur deal will boost the EU’s economy. Yet, the Commission’s own study shows the economic gains from the deal are negligible. This weighs against the deal’s devastating climate impacts. #StopEUMercosur europa.eu/!Yv79dB

🚨 Do you know what's happening tomorrow? The @europarl.europa.eu will finally hold a debate on the controversial #EUMercosur trade deal After more than 25 years of negotiations marked by a lack of transparency and democratic process, this debate is long overdue! A thread 🧵

🎤 We've come together with NGOs & trade unions to say #NoToOmnibus ➕ Call out the corporate influence and Commission's negligence on the #Omnibus process. It's unacceptable that businesses & banks are invited whilst corporate abuse victims, workers & frontline communities are left in the dark‼️
