🟠NEW: The European Parliament vote to endorse the long-awaited #CSDDD law 🎉

This is a win for justice ⚖️

But it shouldn’t take years for the EU to decide whether to value human lives above business profits.

#HoldBizAccountable #JusticeNotProfit

🟢 BIG WIN 🎉 EU Parliament votes to #ExitECT !

Today shows #PeoplePower can win even over big corporations. We're one step closer to breaking free from fossil fuels!✊

And don't worry, we'll keep pushing for clean energy, revising our trade system and for #ClimateJustice 😉

Breaking! INTA Committee Press and ITRE Committee Press vote for the EU‘s exit of the dangerous Energy Charter Treaty. No more damaging private arbitration because of climate measures. A big green success!

🗞️News on the #CSDDD

The JURI Committee Press just voted & approved the CSDDD after the COREPER EU Council endorsement from last Friday.

👏Glad to see 20 positive votes

Next date: Parliamentary plenary in April

Anya Frances VerKamp Olaf Scholz Christian Lindner We completely agree. German Porsche driver Christian Lindner blocking EU legislation is as irritating as Werner Kogler puts it. Can you tell? 🤔

#HoldBizAccountable #JusticeNotProfit

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is refusing to support the EU’s 🇪🇺 groundbreaking law to protect human rights and the environment.

⬇️We made a list of everyone who wants it. Who’s he going to listen to? #CSDDD #lieferkettengesetz @bundeskanzler

📢ECVC calls to mobilise this Thursday 1 Feb at 11:00 at Place de Luxembourg, Brussels! Farmers have had enough!

Today is the second day of the hearing of the genocide case brought by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Hague. Together with more than 1,200 movements, unions, parties, and organisations, we signed an open letter to support the case.

After #Qatargate it was shocking that there was no real EP reaction.

We've not been informed of any investigations into our complaints which related to #DueDiligence (Niebler) & tech files (Voss) + these MEPs’ side jobs, including with law firms.

1/3

In April & June 2023 4 NGOs sent complaints to European Parliament regarding concerns about conflicts of interest re: two MEPs -

MEP Niebler - corporateeurope.org/en/2023/03/com…

MEP Voss - corporateeurope.org/en/2023/06/ngo…

❗❗While the final political trilogue on #CSDDD is a significant step towards corporate justice, it falls short dramatically on key environmental and human rights elements❗❗

#HoldBizAccountable #JusticeNotProfits

Signing the EU-Mercosur deal, even with #Milei ?

Unfortunately many liberal MEPs seem to care more about the profits of multinational companies than about the #climate or social rights.

Socialists also need to make up their minds and #StopEUMercosur !

#PlanetAndPeopleFirst

Missed the good news? #EUMercosur talks hit the brakes this wknd, but we won't settle for a pit stop. We push for a full stop!

❌OUT with old deals fueling climate chaos & inequalities
✅IN with trade policies for agroecology, local economies & a just transition for Global South

If European Parliament listen more to #Bayer , #BASF , #Syngenta and sacrifice interest of nature, farmers and citizens. Time for the EU Commission to withdraw #NGT file, no further presents for #BigAG .

🚨BAD DEAL ALERT: The Spanish Presidency plans to remove key corporate climate obligations & exclude financial sector from accountability.

@eucouncil, the #CSDDD didn’t get this far just to become another greenwashing exercise🎨

It's time to #HoldBizAccountable ⚖️

#Trilogue

Hydrogen is being promoted as a ‘clean’ alternative to fossil fuels, ⚠️but don't fall for the hype!

In this position paper, we debunk the hydrogen rainbow and the myths around hydrogen’s role in the just energy transition.

Over 300 Parliamentarians from 🇦🇹🇧🇪🇩🇰🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇪🇳🇱🇵🇹🇪🇸🇸🇪 as well as MEPs rejected the ‘Splitting’ of EU-Mercosur Trade deal in a letter published today thomaswaitz.eu/wp-content/upl… Check the link to see who from your country stands up for democracy and against #EUMercosur

WHY does Europe need a #CSDDD that makes businesses accountable?

Fishers in Peru are still waiting for justice over a year after 🇪🇸Repsol’s oil spill left them without livelihoods
Sadly, this is not an isolated case.

👉@eu2023es & EU capitals, make corporate justice a reality.

Big polluters like Shell make too much profit from #FossilFuels to be trusted to act on climate. 

Right now the EU is negotiating a law that would force them to cut their emissions.

It’s the law that Shell doesn’t want but the rest of us need. #CSDDD
