Von der Leyen's bonfire of regulations is an act of vandalism
Ursula von der Leyen’s commission has just signalled that it is shifting towards a Trump-influenced deregulatory agenda that prioritises market freedoms over public interest, writes former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson, and Phil Bloomer.

Today, @ec.europa.eu launched its #CleanIndustrialDeal

But how "clean" can the deal really be when it FAILS to

⚠️ consider toxicity and pollution

🏭 address #plastics & petrochemicals, one of the highest emitting and polluting sectors

💓 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 🔥

Today marks 3 years since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This war has shown us the urgency of phasing out Russian fossil fuels and achieving true #EnergyIndependence.

⚡️ Europe must accelerate its shift to #renewables and build a sustainable energy future.

VDL scrapped crucial pesticide reduction. Now new agri plans reflect agri-business wishes

Benefits & subsidies are being privatised; health costs are being collectivised!

Title: Big spender #4: Chemicals European Chemical Industry Council High-level Commission meetings: 183 Lobbying cost: €10 million +, -16.67% since 2020, lobbyists: 43* Bayer High-level Commission meetings: 56 Lobbying cost: €6 million +, 52.87% since 2020, lobbyists: 22* BASF High-level Commission meetings: 58 Lobbying cost: €4,5 million +, 36.36% since 2020, lobbyists: 37* *Full time equivalent This sector has long dominated the very top of the EU league table of highest declared lobby spenders, and this position is reflected in the political clout that the sector has been able to wield. E.g., the Antwerp Declaration was launched at the BASF plant in Antwerp in February 2024 in a CEFIC-organised business-only event with von der Leyen and the then Belgian prime minister. All of the Declaration’s demands are all “on the menu” of the Commission. Entirely missing from this agenda is the need to detoxify this sector and its products. But this is only the latest in a long line of victories for the chemicals sector: • Proposal to cut pesticide use: withdrawn • Ban on exporting harmful pesticides and chemicals already banned in the EU: yet to materialise • REACH revision: shifted to a simplification agenda to help the chemicals sector become more competitive • PFAS restriction: under attack by the chemicals industry lobby
