🚨NEW ARTICLE: "Crying wolf pays off for chemicals industry"
🐺 Check out how #GreenDeal's proposals to deliver a #ToxicFreeFuture have been delayed & sidelined by #BigToxics’ ‘cry wolf’ scaremongering tactics
✊ Tackling toxic pollution is urgent. To deliver a #ToxicFreeFuture we need #ToxicFreePolitics. That means careful scrutiny of industry claims on costs. And no #CorporateCapture or #PrivilegedAccess like tomorrow’s industry summit.
As politicians get ready to cosy up with Big Toxics at a private event in a chemicals factory to discuss a new 'European Industrial Deal', Corporate Europe Observatory looks at how the Green Deal's proposals to reduce and replace toxic substances that harm health and ecosystems, have been delayed and sidelined.
🧪 This week Olaf Scholz
will host #chemicals industry summit.
Will he stand up to the power of the #BigToxics lobby and protect our health and that of our soils and waters, or will he do industry's bidding by opposing improved chemicals regulation?

❌Could be another victory for #BigToxics industry & political right in European Parliament and beyond, in diluting or outright opposing new green rules.

❌ Hugely disappointing that Commission isn't delivering on @clientearth_ legal ruling that impact assessments & RSB opinions should be fully published in real-time.
A redacted European Commission impact assessment has revealed a worrying dilution of ambition on the reform of REACH, the EU's key chemicals regulation. Meanwhile the European Ombudsman is probing whether the full impact assessment should have been released.
