Statement by @realzeroeurope.bsky.social on the European Commission's proposal for a revised EU carbon market #ETS "A boiling Europe needs Real Zero, not more loopholes for polluters" This is nothing short of carbon welfare. Rewarding energy intensive industries for continuing polluting.

📣 Op-ed today in EU Observer 🚜 While farmers suffer the heat, in Brussels Copa-Cogeca and Croplife (pesticide industry) lobbyists join forces to dismantle pesticide safety rules - against the interests of farmers. 👇 Read here: euobserver.com/227840/the-f...

⚠️ Hazardous substances on the market for up to 15 years, based on "socio-economic and agro-economic assessment", not health concerns. ✊But you can take action now MEPs have days left to push back before the Parliament votes. 👉 corporateeurope.org/en/2026/03/a...

🛑Stoppt PFAS! Das ist die Botschaft von sieben mutigen Bürger:innen, aus ganz verschiedenen Alltagsberufen und aus ganz Deutschland. Sie haben sich am Dienstag in Brüssel auf PFAS in ihrem Blut testen lassen. Hört ihnen zu, teilt ihre Nachricht, denn #PFAS sind überall - auch in unseren Körpern!

The 28th regime explained in 8 points! Today, we published a primer on the 28th regime, aka "EU Inc.", the proposal to allow for snappy registration + light regulation of a new type of European companies. Could be disastrous, not least for workers rights. A quick walkthrough here, and a link.

We're celebrating! 🎉🎉 We've had a significant win in our high court challenge the precision bred GMO regulations. The court has ruled that the Defra Minister's decision not to label PBOs in the food chain was unlawful! Read the full story: beyond-gm.org/victory-high...

www.theguardian.com/environment/... #Biofuels are harm the environment as they increase demand for ag products and hence pressure on land. They are socially irresponsible as they further tie food and energy prices, drivîh hunger up. And economically pointless- their cost rises in tandem with oil

🚨 The European People’s Party (EPP) has once again joined forces with far right MEPs, voting through proposals to weaken #tobacco taxation measures 🚨 "The only winners today are the tobacco barons, and now we know who works for them in this House" A shocking assault on public health and democracy!

🏭 Two PFAS-producing companies and the French government have been accused of violating numerous human rights in letters from UN officials. The letters are regarding residents living in a polluted area South of Lyon known as Chemical Valley. More in our news story 👉 buff.ly/TxLNW1U #Pollution

One Commissioner. 184 meetings. 182 with business groups. The other 2? Probably his mum and his dog. Our new podcast ep exposes the corporate capture driving the EU's deregulation frenzy,and it's worse than you think. W/ @kennethhaar.bsky.social &Rachel Tansey 🎙️ corporateeurope.org/en/2026/05/1...

The EU looks to be moving closer to restricting PFAS (“forever chemicals”), after scientific backing from its agencies. At the same time, there are reports of strong industry lobbying around how broad that restriction should be. corporateeurope.org/en/2026/05/p...

💥 After 35 MEPs urged the Commission not to hide data centre environmental info, the @eea.europa.eu is now joining the call The pressure comes after reporting by @investigate-europe.eu with contributions from CEO ‼️ Time for the Commission to drop the Microsoft amendment on data centre secrecy

✊ Help prevent Bayer and BASF from controlling the food chain even further! The EU is planning a major hand-out to big corporations by scrapping safety and transparency rules for risky new GMOs. MEPs vote in June, let them know what you think at the petition 👉 corporateeurope.org/en/2026/04/t...

🚨 Today 35 MEPs are writing to the Commission to scrap unlawful secrecy on data centres' environmental information. A month ago, @investigate-europe.eu revealed that the EU Commission copy-pasted a Microsoft amendment to keep crucial data under wraps. 💥 That secrecy is now being challenged

Big Tech lobbying is driving weaker permitting rules + faster approvals for data centres in Ireland and the EU. In Ireland, data centres pay less for electricity than households (set to get worse), while new gas power plants are being built to power these “AI factories”. #Permission2Pollute

EU Commission's 'Better Regulation' reform institutionalises undemocratic highspeed #deregulation methods 🚨 Instead of halting its methods for producing #Omnibus proposals at speed, the Commission intends to change its rules to enable more of this 😠 New post: corporateeurope.org/en/deregulat...

🚨 NEW REPORT: EU handing industry #Permission2Pollute 🚨 At the request of oil&gas, mining + BigTech lobbyists, the Commission is ripping up permitting rules to fast-track polluting projects like pipelines, mines + data centres. Read more corporateeurope.org/en/2026/05/permission-pollute 👇 🧵 1/6

Breaking! Internal #EPP campaign video leaked! EPP president Manfred Weber leaked in a campaign video adopting far-right narratives on migration and green policy. The EPP increasingly votes with far-right parties, vowing to deregulate ecology, kill the Green Deal, and rebrand the party. Share it!

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

💚 Almost weekend? 📣 Time for EU Watchdog Radio's new podcast! 👉 With UN Special Rapporteur Olivier de Schutter, CIEL's Rachel Radvany and CEO's Nina Holland 📖 On new briefing The Pollution Playbook, covering chemical industry tactics to undermine science corporateeurope.org/en/2026/03/p...

It's People vs. #PFAS polluters. For a small insight into how PFAS-affected communities, who live with pollution every day, are treated by those in Brussels' lobby quarter, check out this video. Spoiler: 💥 VDL refused to meet citizens 💥 PFAS lobby called the police

The EU moved away from Russian gas so it couldn't be weaponised by Putin. But rather than reducing energy demand + rolling out renewables, it doubled down on US LNG. Now Trump threatens to cut off supply if the EU doesn't ratify their trade deal. Weaponised x10. nationaltoday.com/us/dc/washin...

70 organisations have written to MEPs asking them to vote against the #PCIlist proposal for a new generation of hydrogen and fossil fuel pipelines. We call on the Commission to draw up an electricity-only list of projects to avoid fossil fuel lock-in. www.foodandwatereurope.org/wp-content/u...

🌷 The arrival of spring comes this year alongside troubling news from the EU Commission. Their recent legislative rollback risks allowing even more #pesticides into our fields and food. www.pan-europe.info/blog/pestici...

Election after election exit polls show that those who consider their economic security as poor vote for the neo-fascist AfD. We need an antifascist economic policy instead of a revival of 90s style neoliberalism. This has become only more urgent in face of the energy crisis.

🗓️ In Brussels Wednesday 25th? Join us in the European Parliament for the launch of @rosaluxeu.bsky.social + @communia.bsky.social's new study, “Reclaiming Steel: A Public Path for Europe’s Green Industrial Strategy”. Register👇 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

UN Special Rapporteur on Toxics and Human Rights Marcos Orellana tells the European Parliament subcommittee on human rights: "The European Commission promised a ban on the export of pesticides forbidden in the EU in its chemical strategy. It still has not come forward with a proposal." #Exportban

There are quite a few cynical and sinister figures in British public life. But Tony Blair is among the very worst. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

📣 Dearest Gentle Readers, The season is upon us, but not everyone has been invited to the ball! With captains of industry treated to red carpet, the rest of society has been left out. 270 organisations invite Von der Leyen to the #AntwerpCounterSummit: bit.ly/AntwerpCount... 👉Will she accept?!

This month's EU pesticide meeting presents a mixed picture. We finally see some long-overdue ban proposals on substances harmful to humans & wildlife under consideration. Yet, political deadlock persists on banning endocrine disruptors & #PFAS #pesticides. www.pan-europe.info/blog/eu-cont...
