🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 4 days left to stop this. Don't let them destroy our rivers, forests & wildlife in silence. Don't let them scrap the rules that are there to protect us and our children #HandsOffNature handsoffnature.eu?utm=.share.b...

Europe’s competitiveness and citizens would benefit from stronger chemicals rules: close the info gap, phase out harmful substances, and ensure proper enforcement.

✉️ In July, the Commission will present its proposal for the new Multiannual Financial Framework post-2027.
67 MEPs call for LIFE to remain independent because it’s key to biodiversity.
The environment is not a cost; it’s an investment in our future.
🚨 LIVE FROM STRASBOURG-GOOD NEWS!
The European Parliament ends the ‘scandal that wasn’t’!
Today, MEPs made it clear: funding for NGOs under the EU’s LIFE programme is legal, transparent, and essential to a healthy democracy.
Home working with a view🤩🐿❤️ (PS: I think this little guy comes with a clear message: Protect the EU environmental acquis)!

🛑 Civil society is under attack — and so is our democracy.
NGOs across Europe face a coordinated disinformation campaign led by far-right forces trying to silence the voices that defend people, planet, and democracy.
Our @faustine-bd.bsky.social and @saskiabricmont.bsky.social on Station Europe.
Ces attaques (infondées) contre les ONGs pour leur couper tout subsides deviennent de plus en plus récurrentes hélas, voir aussi au niveau européen (avec @faustine-bd.bsky.social du @eeb.org dans l’itv ci-dessous).

💓 Civil society is the beating heart of European democracy.
Today, the EEB’s @faustine-bd.bsky.social reminded the @eesc.bsky.social plenary of this fact, as she tackled baseless attacks on environmental NGOs’ LIFE funding head-on 🔥

Cover of the report, with the titles: The EU’s lobby league table: Big Tech, Banking, Energy, Chemicals & agri-business Based on the analysis of companies declaring more than €1 million on annual lobbying in the EU lobby register. Data corrected as of 8 February 2025.
Big business spends millions lobbying the EU, but who are the top spenders, and what do they want?
Together with @lobbycontrol.bsky.social we took a look and can reveal that declared corporate lobby spend has reached unprecedented levels.

Très bon long format pour comprendre la guerre de la lobby agricole contre l'environnement. Entre désinformation, propagande et platitudes, la vois de @faustine-bd.bsky.social se lève claire, calme, rigoureuse, et sans concessions.
Bravo.

New findings show that EPP MEP Monika Hohlmeier, who is leading attacks on NGOs being funded via the EU's LIFE Programme, has a glaring conflict of interest 🚨
Hohlmeier is on the payroll of BayWa, a corporation that received €6.5 million funding from LIFE 🤯

We in particular talked about #PFAs scandal and the urgent need for the EU to make Europe the first PFAS-free continent!
We count on you to lead the way!
Today, we co-hosted a training session at the EU Parliament focusing on how nature and sustainable agriculture can help tackle the triple crisis🌱🎓
Thanks to our hosts @pcanfin.bsky.social, Herbert Dorfmann (@eppgroup.bsky.social) and Annalisa Corrado (@socialistsanddemocrats.eu)
🔊We are many voices calling on EU leaders to tackle this problem at the root:
❌Stop fueling corporate greed #ForeverLobbying
✅#BanPFAS is the solution to this public health crisis

🚨Breaking news!
💶100 billion a year would be the cost to eliminate #PFAS from the environment in Europe
This is the cost of inaction!
Instead of leaving the #foreverchemicals industry tap open, the solution is to #BanPFAS
www.lemonde.fr/en/les-decod...
#PFAS, or forever chemicals, are widespread.
Check out our new report which shows how EU’s proposed PFAS restriction is at serious risk of being hijacked by corporate lobbying.

Ursula von der Leyen should learn from the backlash 2004 against the 'Bolkestein directive' and consult closely with trade unions + civil society before presenting a wide-ranging #omnibus deregulation act. @estherlynch.bsky.social @judekd.bsky.social @arcapde.bsky.social @faustine-bd.bsky.social
