⛔Toxic #Pesticides alert!⛔
+50 representants of org. signed an open letter demanding @EU_Commission that the #SUD reform is ambitious enough & contains strong legally binding use reduction targets, ensuring that farmers r supported in the transition
👀👉corporateeurope.org/sites/default/…
Other demands include:
- Not postponing the much-needed reform of #SUD
- Making sure that all EU food&feed safety standards r upheld
- @EU_Commission stands by its commitment 2 #F2F & Biodiversity Strategies,transitioning away from current model & its reliance on external inputs
What are we talking about?
Well, the #EUFarmtoFork and Biodiversity Strategies are two pillars of the #EUgreendeal hugely under attack from vested interest lobby groups, now cynically using Ukraine war as an excuse to postpone green policies.

We are already feeling the impacts of the climate emergency, with record-breaking storms, floods, droughts and fires. Yet, lobbyists for #bigpolluters continue to participate in climate talks & decision-making processes.
Here's an overview of CEO's climate reports from last year:
1️⃣ The outcome of COP26 spells disaster for people and the planet, in particular for the global South. Rejected by the climate justice movement, the final text mirrors the agenda of rich developed countries and their oil and gas industries.
corporateeurope.org/en/2021/11/big…
#ClimateAction
2️⃣ At least 503 fossil fuel lobbyists, affiliated with some of the world's biggest polluting oil and gas giants, have been granted access to #COP26 , flooding the Glasgow conference with corporate influence.

☠️Did you know that toxic pesticides banned in the EU are still being produced there, and exported to other parts of the world?
Here's 6 times CEO exposed the agribusiness industry and lobbying in 2021:
1️⃣Stop the Toxic Trade: the tragic tale of toxic pesticides, international trade and EU Green Deal promises. A video featuring Bayer, BASF, Syngenta and Corteva, (un)naturally...
corporateeurope.org/en/2021/10/sto…
2️⃣Remember when internal lobby documents from Copa-Cogeca revealed a coordinated attack by industrial agri-food lobbies on the EU’s sustainable food (#Farm2Fork ) strategy?

The contract between Astrazeneca and the European Commission is finally published - this is an important victory for MEPs and civil society that insisted on #transparency! #thread
ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…
Back in September 2020 already, we had filed a FOI request that had been denied by the European Commission. They even claimed there was no overriding public interest in the disclosure of the document!
One of the thorniest points in the conflict bw. the European Commission and #AstraZeneca over the delivery of #COVID19 #vaccines is the definition of the "best reasonable efforts" the corporation would undertake to produce and deliver them. This is how the contract defines it...

Today we're publishing an investigation into 10+ authoritarian right-wing parties across Europe. What we've they found:

Cohorts of millionaire backers. Personal enrichment. Fraud investigations. Multi-million loans from Russia. And much more. corporateeurope.org/en/Authoritari… Thread 👇
Authoritarian right-wing parties often brand themselves as anti-elite, anti-establishment. They say they defend ordinary people. But behind their claims we found ties to big business, corruption scandals, enabling tax avoidance and networks of dark money: corporateeurope.org/en/Authoritari…
We also found their EU Parliament voting records often reveal disdain for policies aimed at supporting working people & low income communities - even when Europe's authoritarian right-wing parties claim they will protect the rights of 'ordinary people'. corporateeurope.org/en/Authoritari…
