"If the directive passes close to its current watered-down form, the legal experts warn it faces a "high risk of annulment" before the EU’s top court." See EUobserver story below

🤒 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

No fue un error, fue una operación política.

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

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
🚨 Let’s modernise the EU chemical industry 🚨

The chemical sector is driving environmental harm - pushing us past safe limits for climate and chemical pollution.

We need bold action, not a toxic status quo.

🚨 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.
