Thanks EUObserver for blowing away the smoke of smokescreen. Hard to believe that GDP and capital was messed up by EU Commission and major mistakes in calculations. Economists should be able to use a calculator. euobserver.com/green-econom...

❌We have analysed the leaked Omnibus draft text — and it does not look good. ⛔We cannot let the pressure of big corporate lobbying campaigns rule and give fossil fuel giants a free pass by gutting due diligence rules and weakening climate transition plans. ✊We say #NoToOmnibus!

For nearly 7 years @Bayer and its corporate friends push to hide the new generation of GMfood and seeds on our fields and plates. a test vote by EU attachés today confirmed a continued blocking minority. We welcome this opposition and urges more Member States to reject the deregulation proposal.

📣 “Clean industrial” myths debunked While claiming they need 💶 for the energy transition, big industry is feeding shareholders the bulk of its profit pie. Read the new investigation by @somoamsterdam.bsky.social and us: friendsoftheearth.eu/publication/...

Big industry says they need public funding for the energy transition... But they're funnelling 75% of their profits into shareholders payouts 🤔 🔎 Our new investigation with @foeeurope.bsky.social exposes a system that puts shareholder gains before public interest. Have a look ➡️ bitl.to/40NX

Clear analysis: However, the actions of the Commission point at the opposite direction by exempting big parts of the agri-food sector from competition rules, designed to protect consumers against illegal cartels.

Vision lacking 'vision' 👎 In a historic agreement last year, farmers, agri-food industry and NGOs came together to identify WHAT must be done, but today’s @ec.europa.eu’s proposal fails to state HOW. Europe needs a transformative vision, not more of the same 👉 eeb.org/eu-farm-visi...

The US & Canada overrode Mexico's right to ban #GMO corn via an international trade agreement. The decision undermines Mexico’s food sovereignty. Mexico should have the right to take measures to protect itself from the risks posed by GMO corn imported from the US. foe.org/news/us-cana...

We support the @etuc-ces.bsky.social decision not to endorse the Competitiveness Compass if it continues to undermine jobs, rights and standards. The plan would fuel the race to the bottom by pouring public money into corporations without any social conditions.

Deregulation of new GMOs is not the solution, but a step backward. It’s time to clear the fog: farmers need genuine innovation like ambitious multiple cropping systems, they need support from researchers to reintroduce landscape elements on their fields. euobserver.com/eu-political...
