🤒 EUROPE IS MISDIAGNOSED
Blood tests found PFAS in every EU leader tested, proof that pollution runs through Europe’s veins. As calls grow for a full ban on “forever chemicals,” Brussels offers the wrong cure: weaker protections disguised as “simplification.”
Very important findings.
These results show that no one escapes #PFAS contamination & that a comprehensive ban is long overdue.
It's time to stand up to the #ForeverChemicals industry lobby.

Nice Words, No Action: EU fails to tackle industry-led climate and pollution crisis.
The EU's new Chemicals Industry Action Plan promises a cleaner, safer future - but where’s the action to match the ambition? @ec.europa.eu

New EU State Aid rules for industries!
✅ The new framework brings welcome improvements, including stronger conditions for renewable hydrogen, efficiency, and clean tech
❌ But it still allows public money to fund fossil gas and risky technologies like CCS
📄 Full reaction: eeb.org/subsidies-ca...
The EU Action Plan must modernise the sector, not bankroll more pollution.
We need:
✅ Real innovation, not deregulation
✅ Clean, circular, safe chemistry
✅ Public funding with conditions
✅ A just transition, not another ArcelorMittal
Let’s build a competitive future, not extend the fossil past
Europe’s competitiveness and citizens would benefit from stronger chemicals rules: close the info gap, phase out harmful substances, and ensure proper enforcement.

🚨 Today, the European Commission launched its Clean Industrial Deal, aiming for industrial decarbonisation.
😱 But... while the deal doesn't derail the Green Deal, it weakens its holistic approach. Competitiveness is used as a false pretext for unacceptable concessions to polluters.
🫧A #CleanIndustrialDeal must be inclusive—with citizens, governments, and businesses
🏭Today, @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu meets with 300+ industry leaders, but civil society is excluded again

Exposure to certain #PFAS increases cancer risk (among other diseases). These harmful chemicals are present in soil, water, food, and even in our bodies.

People living near one of the 2,100 ‘PFAS hotspots’ in Europe bear a toxic burden 100 times greater than the average European citizen
But they insist: that it is not just a local problem. No one is immune, we are all exposed
Take action! #EuropeansUnited #BanPFAS action.wemove.eu/sign/2024-01...
Deeply concerned by recent findings of the #ForeverLobbying project, which reveal how parts of the chemicals industry have successfully lobbied for decades to undermine PFAS restrictions
These citizens have called for several weeks of action against PFAS across Europe
#BanPFAS #EuropeansUnited
#PFAS affected communities first hand testimonies are crucial to understand the devastating impact of #ForeverChemicals
They have requested an urgent meeting with @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu backed by @eeb.org and @wemoveeurope.bsky.social

🚨 European Environmental NGOs are under attack. False claims about NGO funding suggest we lobby for the EU Commission or lack transparency—these are baseless and dangerous.
