Over 50,000 #WildAnimals exported since 2022 🚨
Despite warnings, some EU countries still contribute to massive exports of protected species to India’s #Vantara, owned by Asia’s richest man.
Sharing NGOs’ concerns, we urge the Commission to act & protect wildlife from such commercial mega-projects!

Tomorrow, we vote in the EU Parliament on whether plant-based products can use meat names. 🍔
Together with my Group, I will vote against the

💜 Today, on #SafeAbortionDay:
Let’s remember that women’s rights are never guaranteed.
Abortion is healthcare.
Sexual & reproductive rights are fundamental rights.
Across the EU, access to safe abortion remains unequal.
We must defend the right to safe & legal abortion everywhere 🇪🇺

❌ From #GreenDeal to Green Delay
The Commission postponed the #DeforestationRegulation again. How much more time & credibility will they waste?
Every delay means more forests lost, communities harmed & our future at risk.
🌳 @greens-efa.eu will keep fighting: for forests, people & the planet!

🚨The Commission is risking our #roadsafety & fuelling #pollution: I have submitted a written question demanding answers, along with my colleagues from the Greens.

Supporting meat alternatives is good for #humanhealth, the #environment, #animalwelfare🌱
Thanks to @easac.bsky.social for the invite to their report launch.
A fair EU food transition must include consumers, farmers & stakeholders, with coherent policies & political courage as essential conditions.

Pleased to speak at the EAPM Vision 2030.
Personalized medicine holds promise for patients, but only if it’s equitable.
➡️Access still varies across EU
➡️Risk of “luxury medicine” is real
➡️Tech like decentralized trials & EU-wide data sharing can help
Equity must be at the ❤️ of innovation.

Despite the hottest June on record, EPP sided with far right to block urgent EU climate action, choosing delay & denial.
The file is now in the hands of a Patriot MEP, jeopardising the EU’s ability to have a position ready for #COP30.
A shameful setback for people, planet & the EU’s credibility.

I look forward to working with the entire EP team.

A step forward for European Rail! 🚂 🇪🇺
In today's trilogue on the capacity regulation I negotiated:
- more coordination and safeguards on national strategic guidance
- more binding EU frameworks
- setting up of an Advisory Performance Panel
- creation and consultation of European Railway Platform

#PandemicAccord is a big step for global health security and solidarity. It may not include everything we had hoped for, but it is a breakthrough. I am pleased to see multilateralism deliver - but we must now build trust, ensure fair access to health tools, and support WHO’s leadership.

Majority of MEPs just voted in favour loosening the Habitats Directive – lowering the wolf’s protection status.😢🐺
Species protection isn’t a bargaining chip! We need real solutions, not symbolic politics.
This is a heavy blow for environmental and species protection.

One Health is not optional 🌍
It must be a political imperative.
Whether it’s PFAS in water, AMR from factory farms, or climate-fueled outbreaks — we need joined-up governance, not siloed fixes.
We have to stop firefighting symptoms and start governing systems.

Animal Transport: Step 2 ✅
After attempts by far-right, EPP & Renew to delay the whole process-time had come to submit amendments.
Our green demands include shorter transport times, sea transport time limit, strict rules for unweaned animals, phase-out of live export & improved temperature limits.

With today's vote on #LIFE @eppgroup.bsky.social again teamed up with the far right to silence civil society, trying to weaken public interest and making room for private interest giants.
This is not about transparency, it’s about power.

Breaking: Parliament & Council just agreed on a driving disqualification directive. The idea came already in 1964, but now finally serious driving offences committed abroad can lead to a disqualification to drive in the whole EU. A historical achievement and a step forward for road safety.

Budapest #Pride is a European tradition. For almost 30 years, Hungary’s queer community has been marching in the streets together with their allies. This year, Orbán’s far right government wants to change that.
