Thank you for summarising what we are losing without strong rules and agile civil society, I start falling in love with your assessments of lawmakers deregulation agenda. Please read this oped and share euobserver.com/eu-political...

Thanks Alemanno for summing up in one Oped how @eppgroup.bsky.social and far right fabricate a scandal, delegitimise and defund organisations, then criminalise their new funding as foreign influence, all while continuing to demand NGOs services for consumer protection & digital rights enforcement.

Huge victory for French organisations that Environmental laws shall be respected by EU institutions 👏

📣 #NewGMOs: Consumer organisations call on EU to "defend the right of consumers to know what they eat and their freedom of choice." #NGTs Biotech industry pressure is massive. But European Parliament should uphold position that consumers have right to know! www.brusselstimes.com/opinions/179...

On #WorldFoodDay, the EU Commission should take note: farmers & cities across Europe prove food can be grown without pesticides 🌱 A fairer, healthier food system is possible. Time for policies that support it! Check our new report with @paneurope.bsky.social👉 friendsoftheearth.eu/press-releas...

We have 5 days left to tell lawmakers why clean food, safe working conditions and our nature needs our voice against toxic pesticides #ProtectMyPlate

Auf den Punkt von @uedio.bsky.social, Hat die @eppgroup.bsky.social nichts Wichtigeres zu tun als Fleischkonsum als Heilsbringerin der Landwirtschaft zu verkaufen? www.deutschlandfunk.de/kommentar-zu...

📣 Yet another #Omnibus proposal has been announced and this time the target is food and feed safety, in particular #pesticides. ☠️ The pesticide industry wants to weaken current pesticide rules. 👉 Tell EU decision makers: No weakening pesticide laws! corporateeurope.org/en/2025/10/t...

Who has the many speeches where Ursula swore simplification was not deregulation? Was not last time just a month ago for SotUE? Dropping the pretence, then, I see.

Great Action @eeb.org, visualises perfectly that our future is with nature and not with deregulation. We also need clean and safe food friendsoftheearth.eu/news/raise-y...

The protection of our food, soil, and water from harmful chemicals is a necessity, not a burden. Take few minutes to tell this EU lawmakers before 14 October

🗣️Raise your voice for safe food & nature free from toxics! The EU Commission wants to roll back vital food safety protections. We've 14 days to speak up. Tell them the protection of our food, soil & water from toxics is a necessity. Tell them: #ProtectMyPlate 👉 friendsoftheearth.eu/news/raise-y...

‼️Stop EU #deregulation ! Stop the #Chainsaw/Kettingzaag/Tronçonneuse/Kettensäge! Take down the #Omnibuses! No to the 28th regime and to #socialdumping! #BackToTheFuture #Dignity #SocialRights bsky.app/profile/pekk...

We have brought together human rights lawyers, academics, and decisionmakers to literally walk the talk 🥾 Here's why Marina Stefanova, a corporate sustainability professor from Bulgaria has trekked across Belgium in the past 3 days to say no to deregulation 🙅‍♀️

Wise words from Maya Doneva from the European Women's Lobby. This is why everyone should join the Back to the Future end event today✊ 🧷 Sept 23 at Schuman 🕐 18:30 Come for the inspiring speeches, stay for the incredible music by Planete Boum Boum.

📢 We need strong climate obligations, accountability, and access to justice for those harmed by pollution, extraction, displacement and unsafe working conditions. We are walking the talk 🫰 @ec.europa.eu, can you hear us coming yet⁉️

We are many. We are united. We are on our way 🪧🥾 Together with decision makers, communities, and allies—we are marching and calling for the EU institutions to start fighting for a green and social Europe. We will march until the EU quarter and they hear our call: 📢 No ❌ deregulation!

Indeed unwanted contamination will rapidly and repeatedly occur and it will be not reversible. As a geneticist and organic farmer, but more so as a mother feeding her children I cannot understand how this is not alarming and how it is not a political priority.

This proposal is incompatible with farmers' rights on seeds, and would simply legalize biopiracy by allowing the extension of the scope of patents to native seeds. This will only benefit to patent-holding multinationals, at the expense of European farmers, small seed breeders and agrobiodiversity

Indeed, farmers reject the EU-Mercosur agreement and the unfair competition it will bring to farmers in the EU and in Mercosur countries! But farmers also oppose the proposal to deregulate new genomic techniques, which want to impose patented GMOs without any traceability and labeling

Yes, without labelling along the entire food chain, the right to decide what to grow and what to eat will be lost. Keep new GMOs labelled! Renew: please stand up for the European Parliament position on labelling.

It is crucial to guarantee on-package labeling throughout the entire supply chain, from the field to the plate. The Parliament must not give up on labeling and traceability in the current #NGT negotiations. Support breeders, farmers, producers and consumers in their right to choose! #IChooseGMOFree

Without labelling along the food chain, consumers will loose their right to decide what they eat. Keep new GMOs labelled. Renew: stand up for the EP position on labelling. #IchooseGMOfree

Dear Mr Canfin, can we rely that you, as Shadow, will defend the EP’s position to maintain traceability along for all generations of GMOs?

On #NGTs we urge you to not sacrifice freedom of choice - both for consumers and for all business operators - for sustainability. Everyone has the right to know what’s in their food. #ICHOOSEGMOFREE

Labelling, traceability, and published detection methods are necessary for all new GMOs, to protect consumer rights, public health and the environment.

Indeed, EU plant breeders & farmers face a framework on intellectual property rights that stifles innovation & harms biodiversity, especially w/increase of patented NGT plants. 👉More on legal solutions to reform biopatent laws & secure access to plant genetics www.martin-haeusling.eu/images/Legal...

In addition, farmers are facing more problems: Scrapping safety rules for NGT crops will cause a flood of patented crops, harming farmers and benefiting a few big biotech corporations. #Nopatentonseeds Dear Mr Canfin, as Shadow, will you strongly defend the EP position to opposing patents on crops?

Our two cents on the #SOTEU "Calling for unity when your plans are only benefiting big business is a shocking failure to secure actual solutions for the multiple crises and daily struggles of many citizens in Europe." -- @muteschimpf.bsky.social 1/2

"Acceleration for climate resilience is urgenty needed but cutting rules to appease polluting industries will only accelerate the climate crisis. The industrial Accelerator Act is nothing more than a show pony for the EU’s deregulation wave." @muteschimpf.bsky.social 2/2

“Producing more with less” was yet again the prevailing narrative at yesterday’s informal #AGRIFISH … 🙄 But more… of what? Good to see @politico.eu journalists bringing facts and nuance to this discussion - and showing what’s really behind this #FoodSecurity rhetoric.

👉🏾 Tomorrow, @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu will address the EU Parliament with her SOTEU speech. 📣 She received a very clear message in a statement signed by 470 organisations: We need rules to protect people and environment! You can't sell our protections for profit! www.epsu.org/article/470-...

Strong position why laws in Europe need to serve public interests, citizen's rights and good and fair working conditions and not ticking of the wish list of corporations.

Feels like jumping 1o years back. “The EU commits to address not-tariff barriers affecting trade in food and agricultural products“ This puts higher EU standards on beef, chicken and other food products at risk.

S A V E 📢 T H E 📢 D A T E Human & environmental rights should never be placed at the whim of corporations. But that is what the EU is doing by revising and watering down sustainability laws! We can't let that happen. Join #BackToTheFuture ➕ sign up for updates ⬇️ www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029...

Regulation is a democratic tool to protect people and the planet from corporate abuse✊ While the EU Omnibus threatens key human rights and environmental protections, civil society and trade unions are mobilising to say NO to deregulation. 🗣️ Hear them speak out at our #RulestoProtect event.

🕵 WANTED: 26 Social Climate Plans 🕵 Only Sweden met the deadline to submit their plans for how it’ll spend its share of €86 billion to support those in energy and transport poverty. With most countries still writing their plans, here are some of our recommendations: eeb.org/library/ten-...

Doppelmoral ist noch freundlich: falsche § zitieren, um selbst öffentlich Gelder Parteifreunden gegen alle Regeln zukommen zu lassen und sich parallel darüber zu empören, dass Umwelt NGO einem klaren Prozess folgend öffentlich Mittel bekommen.

🚫 No GMOs through the back door! The EU plans to allow untested, unlabelled #newGMOs on our fields & plates. Only the EU Parliament supports traceability & labelling, but this is now at risk. Email your MEPs now to protect our safety & right to choose 👇 demeter.net/no-gmos-thro... #IChooseGMOfree

Saying it like it is when we talk about #deregulation: "the scale of the cuts in the first omnibus proposal [..] showed that the simplification argument was 'basically bollocks' [..] it’s not just weakening it a little bit [..] The heart of the proposal has been taken out.” ~ Paul de Clerck 👀 ⬇️

The Omnibus is fuelling legal uncertainty and might breach the law too. A new legal analysis warns of the risk of future legal challenges if the Omnibus is passed into law. The agreement reached by the EU Council last night heightens these risks by further undermining the #CSDDD.

Just as far-right forces crack down on civil society dealing with the climate, a new study reveals that lobbyists from the top fossil-fuel industry organisations had over 1,000 MEP meetings within less than a year.

What’s the real cost of deregulation? 👉At our “Rules to Protect” event, citizens from Belgium and Spain shared why we need strong rules to defend our health, rights and nature. ⚠️ People’s lives and our planet cannot be sidelined for profit! #RulesToProtect

🚨 Despite @ec.europa.eu confirming that EU funding to NGOs is lawful and transparent, a faction of MEPs have establish a working group to scrutinise a fabricated tale of “occult financing”. We urge democratic forces to oppose this smear campaign and stand up for a healthy European democracy!

How about @eppgroup.bsky.social is renaming themselves to European Please Corporate Party? Calling any piece of legislation "overly complex, burdensome and costly" for business and making citizens citizens & nature paying the bill should be reason enough to delete the "people" from their name

🛣️ After nearly 30 years, Bulgaria’s Struma motorway project reaches a breakthrough: The final section will bypass Kresna Gorge—part of two Natura 2000 sites—under a new agreement between the authorities and civil society organisations. Read more in our press release: bankwatch.org/press_releas...

📢 Protect people over corporate interests! At today’s high-level event, civil society, trade unions and key policymakers are coming together to oppose the Commission’s dangerous deregulation drive that threatens vital social & environmental safeguards. Read our press release 👇 #RulesToProtect
