Seuls les macronistes se sont abstenus lors d'un vote à l'Assemblée nationale d'une résolution « invitant le Gouvernement de la République française à s’opposer à l’adoption de l’accord commercial entre l’Union européenne et le Mercosur »
[BONNE NOUVELLE]
Ce 27 nov. une très grande majorité de députés votent une résolution appelant E. Macron à s'opposer à l'accord UE-Mercosur et à construire une minorité de blocage, pas à négocier une clause de sauvegarde inefficace.

MORE MERCOSUR DRAMA: A hundred and forty-five center-right, Socialist, liberal, Green and Left lawmakers sent a letter on Tuesday afternoon to Metsola, seen by POLITICO, demanding her to instruct Parliament’s legal service to draft a recommendation on whether she was right to block a vote on asking the EU’s top court to assess the legality of the Mercosur agreement. Metsola argued the Parliament cannot do so until EU countries sign the deal.
Roberta Metsola @president.europarl.europa.eu denied a request from 145 MEPs to ask for a legal opinion on the #EUMercosur deal
Her argument - that the EU has to sign the deal before MEPs can ask the Court of Justice to check its legality - is plainly and obviously wrong
Here's why:
Europe considers these pesticides too toxic for use at home - yet exports them to other countries✈️
This double standard is deadly and needs to end.
🌍 Watch civil society and farmer organisations around the world send them back to Brussels 👇

La Présidente du Parlement 🇪🇺 a rejeté notre demande de saisir la CJUE sur l’accord UE–Mercosur. Rien ne s’y opposait juridiquement : ce refus semble être une ingérence politique.
J’ai fait un rappel au règlement en séance plénière, pour faire valoir notre droit à saisir la justice européenne⬇️
Nous étions aux côtés de la @ConfPaysanne ce lundi 24 novembre devant le Parlement UE à Strasbourg pour dire « L’accord de libre-échange UE-Mercosur, nous n’en voulons pas, clause de sauvegarde ou pas »

🚨Le #ToxicTradeTour s’est achevé à BXL aujd, avec un message clair pour Von der Leyen et Bart de Wever :
📢Stoppez l’accord #UEmercosur car il est toxique : pour l’agriculture, la santé, le climat, l’environnement et la biodiversité, les droits sociaux et les droits humains, en 🇪🇺 et dans le Mercosur.
The #ToxicTradeTour hit Brussels this morning with pesticide barrels & green sludge showing what’s at stake when leaders won't answer for trade justice.
🇪🇺 Commission President von der Leyen & 🇧🇪 PM de Wever: will you choose farmers, nature & people above corporate profits? Will you #StopEUMercosur?
Laut der aktualisierten Folgenabschätzung der EU-Kommission, die im September veröffentlicht wurde, ist es sogar noch weniger: 0.05% bis 2040

The EU-Mercosur trade deal will be a disaster for rainforests and other natural ecosystems in South America, as well as the climate. Every environmentalist should be fighting this.

🚨Alerte ! Notre recours contre l’accord UE-Mercosur porte devant la CJUE, signé par 145 parlementaires, vient d’être bloqué par la présidente du Parlement 🇪🇺 qui refuse qu'il soit examiné tant que l'accord n'est pas signé par le conseil.
C’est un scandale démocratique. Ne les laissons pas faire !
EU Parliament President @president.europarl.europa.eu blocking her own institution from voting? Outrageous.
+Ironic, given that the motion is about asking the advice of the EU Court of Justice, in order to guarantee that the EU-Mercosur deal is aligned with EU law. www.euractiv.com/news/meps-bl...
What are you afraid of @president.europarl.europa.eu ?

Can someone explain me how the EP can vote a text on safeguards that refers to trade agreements that we haven't voted on yet 🤨...
The EP pressurised by the EPP leadership is weakening the Parliament’s role and trying to bypass a lawful request of 145 MEPs (Art.218.11 TFEU).
Cartoon by Lectrr @lectrr.bsky.social In the background, farmers protest with banners reading "Stop EU-Mercosur" and "No farmers, no food" In the foreground, politicians from the EPP give the farmers a thumbs-up with one hand, while with the other hand they sign the EU-Mercosur trade agreement behind their backs
145 MEPs tabled a motion to refer the EU-Mercosur deal to the Court of Justice of the EU
The EPP wants to block that motion at a key meeting TONIGHT
Why? If the deal is legal, let the courts say so
What’s the EPP afraid of?
Is it because they think the court will find an issue?
#StopEUMercosur
The EU-Mercosur “safeguard clause” isn’t a safeguard. It won’t protect farmers or local markets. ECVC urges the EU to reject this deal. Join us in Brussels on 24 Nov to say NO to EU-Mercosur!

2/ La réalité, c’est que cet accord renforcerait l’agro-industrie, celle-là même qui rase la forêt, expulse les peuples autochtones et détruit les écosystèmes.
Et tout cela… alors que la #COP30 se tient aux portes de l’Amazonie.
Un contresens absolu.

What would you say to someone who thinks the EU-Mercosur deal is just about economic opportunity?
Dinamam Tuxá @apiboficial.bsky.social is an Indigenous leader of the Tuxá people, from the Tuxá Indigenous Land in Brazil. He came to Brussels to tell EU leaders exactly why the deal is so harmful.
During dry season, the Amazon region chokes on smoke from fires deliberately set to clear new land for cattle, poisoning local communities with toxic air.

The EU banned epoxiconazole, but still produces it to export to the Global South!
It is a fungicide banned in2020, toxic to reproduction as it negatively impacts fertility, a healthy pregnancy, concerns to cause cancer, & very toxic to aquatic life, birds and wild animals.
Let's return it to sender!
Today is #WorldFoodDay ! It happens that EU bans toxic pesticides... but then still exports them to all corners of the world. And that is ⤴️ ever more: 120.000 tons in 2024, so we decided to send them back to the Commission. They have been waiting 5 years to act & stop this unethical double standard!

At @socialistsanddemocrats.eu Latin America event, Marita Gonzalez, representing Mercosur trade unions, makes a clear statement: for us trade unions, this EU-Mercosur deal does NOT guarantee a sustainable and inclusive development.
Will S&D MEPs listen & say NO to this toxic deal? #StopEUMercosur
The NZ Govt has admitted that new methane targets do not align with goals to keep global warming below 1.5C - a limit set in place to prevent catastrophic climate change. The move breaches both international law and free trade agreements with the EU and the UK.

Forests are vital for life on Earth, yet banks and agribusiness keep profiting from their destruction.
Last year, 8 million hectares vanished, half the size of England.
At #COP30 in the Amazon, leaders must act to end deforestation and make polluters pay.
