😡In a final vote, the European Parliament stripped away remaining environmental safeguards in EU farm policy.

Two rushed “simplifications” gutted years of progress, giving Big Agri what it wanted: public money to pollute, no strings attached.

Here’s what we lost ⬇️

The EU law-dismantling proposals published today mark a dangerous turn toward weaker rules and increased public health risks.

Ever heard of cheesing?* 🧀

It's the perfect way to describe the game that's played by decisionmakers to destroy environmental & human rights protections:

1. Cheap tricks
2. Unfair
3. Overly easy

Watch & let us know who you nominate for BIGGEST cheese⁉️

Today it's exactly 6 years ago that EU Commission President Von der Leyen announced the European Green Deal, which she called "Europe's Man on the Moon moment" 🎂

Von der Leyen's priority today? Acting on corporate demands for #deregulation, recklessly rolling back environment and health standards 😡

🚨 Across Europe, farmland that once echoed with birdsong and buzzing life is falling silent, poisoned by the overuse of harmful pesticides.

These chemicals contaminate soil and water, kill the insects that birds depend on, and weaken the ecosystems that make farming possible.

Yesterday, the Commission published its new annual Work Programme, and nature didn’t make the cut. The Programme sets out the EU’s key policy and legislative priorities for the upcoming year.

Food concerns everyone, and so do the rules that protect it. If the EU rolls back food and pesticide laws, we all lose: our health, nature, clean water.

We built these protections together over time. Now let’s defend them.

Once again, this assault on environmental safeguards is being sold as “simplification.” It’s not simplification, it’s dismantling. And it’s a betrayal of both nature and farmers.

💚 Last week, we gathered in Poland for an inspiring meeting with our Partners. The main topic? Agriculture.🌾

Farmland bird populations in Europe have dropped by 60% in just 40 years. At BirdLife, we’re pushing for a food system that feeds people, supports farmers, and protects nature.

We've been driving around Brussels in an actual omniBUS because the European Commission has been driving a giant Omnibus of proposals themselves.

When it comes to nature, simplification doesn’t mean easier rules. It means weaker rules.

As the Irish Minister for Agriculture vows to fight for the right to keep filling rivers with levels of agri-pollutants illegal in the rest of the EU, results show a massive leap of 16% in a single year.

Whoever told them it was okay to turn OUR rivers into open sewers?

Don’t let the EU tear down nature protection ❌

The European Commission is quietly trying to dismantle the laws that safeguard what we cherish most: our nature.
They think we wouldn’t notice or care. But we do.

In a new letter, they urge the EU to prioritise nature in the next budget.

📉81% of EU habitats in poor shape
💼500k jobs through restoration
💶LIFE = <1% of EU budget, but vital for nature
