New on #DeregulationWatch: Is EU Commission President Von der Leyen getting worried about MEPs and governments not buying into her #deregulation agenda? In a speech last week, VDL rallied called upon lobby groups to get their "influence to the table" 🤔 ➡️ www.corporateeurope.org/en/deregulat...

What do Austrians think about #NewGMOs? 🇦🇹 A new survey shows: ✅ 76.6% say #NonGMO is key to buying decisions 🚨 79.7% fear the EU’s proposed NGT law threatens consumer rights 📢 85%+ want clear labelling & strict regulation of #NGTs www.enga.org/newsdetails/...

💥 Europe's Toxic Trade Alert ! ☠️ The EU banned dozens of pesticides because they are too dangerous for our health and too toxic for nature. But European companies still produce and export those banned chemicals. Shame on the #EuropeanCommission ! See new data: www.publiceye.ch/en/topics/pe...

SHAMEFUL: EU chemicals companies' profits are still being placed above people's health in poorer nations A major new investigation by @unearthednews.bsky.social & @publiceye.ch found the trade in banned pesticides has increased despite EU promises to end it unearthed.greenpeace.org/2025/09/23/e...

Dear Mr. Canfin, our agriculture also needs protection from unwanted contamination from new GMOs. Please stand up for stand up for the @europarl.europa.eu’s position in Trilogue

Such bad reporting on the speech, if you then hear what he means by "competitiveness"... unregulated tech companies, forever chemicals and combustion engines! Draghi is himself a fossil

We've taken another step in tackling industry interference at the UN climate talks ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾 Sustained campaigning from the #KickBigPollutersOut coalition means all non-govt participants heading to COP30 now have to declare who's funding their attendance. kickbigpollutersout.org/COP30-next-s...

Het lijkt erop dat het schenden van mensenrechten de gewoonste zaak van de wereld geworden is. Dit zijn de echte problemen met migratie. Het beschermen van mensenrechten. Dat is het begin van een liefdevolle samenleving. www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/u...

4️⃣ Great to see VDL snubbing the far right in the EP during her SOTU. Let’s hope her EPP now: A. Stop doing deals with far right, B. Stop taking over their agenda like on migration and attacks on civil society and C. stop persuing economic policies that create fertile ground for fascists 2.0

3️⃣ VDL said her deregulation campaign is making life easier for businesses, saving them costs. Well, yesterday, 470 organisations showed her otherwise and denounced that people and planet will pick up the bill. Time to set the EU on a different path. #SOTEU corporateeurope.org/en/2025/09/e...

Four thoughts on the #SOTEU2025 speech: 1️⃣ On the EU competitiveness agenda, VDL was shockingly misleading: VDL claimed that the Commission's so-called 'simplication' agenda is just about "less paperwork, less overlaps, less complex rules" and reducing "bureaucratic costs for European companies" 👇

Vandaag demonstreerden meer dan 1500 mensen in Londen met borden waarop stond 'I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action'. De 7 Nederlandse rebellen die er zijn werden gearresteerd op verdenking van het 'steunen van een terroristische organisatie'.

Tomorrow, von der Leyen will address the EU Parliament with her SOTEU speech. Today, civil society and trade unions delivered a very clear message in a statement signed by 470 organisations: we need rules to protect people and the environment! corporateeurope.org/en/2025/09/o...

Blij dat onze WOO-documenten bij de ministeries van o.m. LNV&VWS zijn benut voor deze sterke Argos-uitzending. Conclusie is duidelijk: NL regering verkoopt de belangen van boeren, consumenten en veredelaars uit aan de multinationals. Risico's gezondheid milieu mag maatschappij oplossen.

⚠️Corporate lobby groups are promoting a radical plan to create an EU-level ‘28th regime’ of parallel, weaker rules for start-ups and ‘innovative’ companies This could enable social dumping and trigger a race to the bottom for social rights corporateeurope.org/en/2025/09/s... #RulesToProtect

Climate change makes extreme weather more likely. Yep, we get that. But seeing the numbers is mind-blowing 🤯 🔥 It made the weather conditions behind 🇪🇸 + 🇵🇹's recent wildfires 40x more likely! 🥵 It made 🇪🇸's 10 day August heatwave 200x more likely! www.worldweatherattribution.org/extreme-fire...

The final EU-Mercosur deal does nothing to stop free-trade from harming neither small-scale farmers nor Indigenous Peoples threatened by the expansion of agribusiness. The splitting manoeuvre is an undemocratic hijacking of the long-standing opposition of several EU member states and parliaments.

📻 New #podcast episode just dropped! 🌶️ It's summer, so we decided to stay hot and talk about the trade tariffs the US will impose on the EU starting August 1st, and how that is linked to the EU Commission's deregulation wave 🎧 Teaser below + full epiode here 👉 open.spotify.com/episode/35PG...

In Feb we & @lobbycontrol.bsky.social complained about likely under- & over-reporting in EU lobby register. Secretariat has now come back with outcome which shows €47 millions-worth of changes 💶 €2,450,000 added 💶 €23,145,000 taken off 💶 €22,150,000 removed corporateeurope.org/en/complaint...

🚨New video! Communities impacted by green hydrogen projects in South Africa finally had their voices heard by MEPs and the European Commission for the first time. 🤥 Incredibly disappointing: the Commission denied the EU was involved in any of the projects shown corporateeurope.org/en/2025/07/h...

All eyes on Brussels today for the presentation of the new #MFF (EU budget 2028-2034) and plans for agricultural policy #CAP. It promises to be historic but not for the better. Check out our thread 🧵👇

Zembla goes international! The impressive Dutch investigation on how the pesticide industry influenced the approval of #glyphosate is now available in English! Zembla explores the role of paid “merchants of doubt” who cast uncertainty over health risks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOkW...

Barbara Berardi, PAN-Europe, points out the elephant in the room: How come that the EU pesticide regulation 1107, supposedly the "most protective in the world", is not protecting biodiversity or health? Only in 2024, the EC asked EFSA to revise the guidance on the impacts on non-target insects.

At the Bees and Bugs conference by @paneurope.bsky.social and @pollinis.org , EFSA's Tobin Robinson talks about the "painful history" of bee guidances that were produced by EFSA in 20213 and 2023, but were scandalously never implemented by EU member states.

Bees&Bugs conference in European Parliament by @paneurope.bsky.social and @pollinis.org Noa Simon Delso: "Bee guidance, 12 years later, STILL not implemented!! " "Uniform principle regulation is therefore very important. "

Happening now! Important event by PAN-Europe on the role of #pesticides on the very worrying insect decline that threathens food security. Action is needed! However it is the pesticide lobbies that push hard to block action against harmful chemicals, aided by the right.

DG TRADE's Dora Correia responds to comments on the #CTIP by saying very little of substance that's not already in existing documents. Avoids criticisms brought up by South Africa's communities or trade unionists. Says the EU is responding to a call by South Africa ("not our fault, gov"). 1/2

Although 🇪🇺 leaders praise green hydrogen as a climate solution, communities in 🇿🇦 are being displaced, silenced and polluted in its name. Today, for the first time, impacted communities had their voices heard by MEPs and the European Commission. Read more 🔗 corporateeurope.org/en/2025/07/h...

Pfas duikt op in Europees voedsel en drinkwater, maar Brussel negeert de waarschuwingen van wetenschappers. Vooral één stof, tfa, verspreidt zich razendsnel. Interne documenten onthullen hoe EU-wetgeving werd afgezwakt, waardoor veel Europeanen worden blootgesteld aan mogelijke gezondheidsrisico's.

Le géant de l'agrochimie BASF continue de produire et d'exporter des pesticides interdits en France sur son site du Genay. C'est ce que révèle l'inspection citoyenne menée par des faucheurs volontaires le 23 juin. Pour la première fois, l’État s'en saisit @sophiechapelle.bsky.social vous explique ⤵️

We strongly condemn the Commission’s proposal on the Chemicals Package. @christopheclergeau.bsky.social www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/com...

Important that MEPs incl. @martinhojsik.bsky.social @juttapaulus.bsky.social @perclausen.bsky.social @chahim.bsky.social are raising problematic #deregulation of #cosmetics & chemicals labelling #CLP laws, + weak statement on #PFAS Simplification = Deregulation corporateeurope.org/en/2025/06/f...

As feared, when Sejourne presented #ChemicalsPackage to MEPs he focussed on how it can 'help' industry, not about getting industry in line with Polluter Pays & Precautionary Principles. They were not even mentioned.... www.europarl.europa.eu/plenary/en/h... corporateeurope.org/en/2025/06/f...

And we have a clear message for the #EUDK2025 Danish Council presidency on #PFAS

Finally we get to see the #Chemicals Industry Action Plan. See our initial response on #PFAS #ForeverPollution

35.000 lobbyisten bepalen in Brussel steeds vaker de regels. Grote bedrijven blokkeren klimaatwetgeving en hollen de Green Deal uit. De EU dreigt steeds verder af te drijven van haar burgers. Alleen een politieke ommezwaai kan dit keren. @olivierhoedeman.bsky.social www.sampol.be/2025/07/bree...

As we get ready for the Commission's announcements on #Chemicals later today, here is a little reminder why a ban on a handful of consumer uses of #PFAS would fail to tackle the ever-growing #ForeverPollution crisis. See thread and cartoons below. corporateeurope.org/en/2025/05/c...

🚨 NEW POLL: roughly TWICE as many people in France, Germany & Spain want the EU to break up Big Tech giants, as those who don't. @ec.europa.eu will soon decide whether to dismantle Google's toxic adtech monopoly. Will it listen to EU citizens and #BreakUpBigTech? peoplevsbig.tech/large-majori...

Really important story on corporate lobbying on #PFAS and #TFA in @ftm.eu this morning: www.ftm.eu/articles/pol...

"Despite rising concerns, TFA remains largely unmonitored and unregulated in the EU. "This is partly due to industry meddling.. the chemical industry’s influence & lobbying have played a role in shielding TFA from EU regulations on drinking water & pesticides. www.ftm.eu/articles/pol...
