@corporateeurope

Thank you for your work.
This is the second time you publish surfing and the second time in female swimsuit.
You would not consider similar on Valdis Dombrovskis (another relevant commissioner that you featured in tie suit).

Please consider enacting a respectful editorial line #CorporateEurope.

I received this invitation. (comments at the end)

------------------------------------
Dear Colleagues,

The first part of the 5th EUSO Stakeholders Forum will be an online event on 12th June, focussing on the topic "Soil health and EU competitiveness". During this event, case studies from the private sector will show how healthy soils can promote competitiveness in terms of the three pillars:
a) closing the innovation gap
b) decarbonisation and competitiveness
c) reducing excessive dependencies

The event includes presentations from the biotechnology sector, agribusiness, banking-financial sector, remediation industry, start-ups, carbon farming, development of clean products and retail industry.

More information as Agenda, Speakers and Registration can be found in the page:

Kind Regards,
Panos PANAGOS, PhD.

Scientific/Research Officer
Project Leader of EU Soil Observatory (EUSO)

My thoughts:
Ok, we need urgently more awareness about soils. We need more #OrganicAgriculture, #RegenerativeAgriculture, #AgroecologicalTransition, #CommunitySupportedAgriculture and much more. What we *definitely* don't need, is a meeting with NOT A SINGLE FARMER, but people from Syngenta, Bayer, Nestlé and a bunch of other industry representatives to allow them to show that they are trying soo hard to protect our environment while they do everything they can to sabotage meaningful policy changes. Venture capital funded Start-ups and old villains are definitely not the structural change the agrifood-system needs.

Maybe it will still be an informative event, who knows.

Thank you for listening.

Who’s writing our laws? | Corporate Europe Observatory

Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) launches NotificationTracker, a new public interest tool that exposes how corporations and lobby groups use the EU notification procedure to influence draft national laws before these enter into force. The launch comes few days ahead of the European Commission’s Single Market Strategy, which will focus on removing so-called “regulatory barriers”.

The plans presented in the Commission’s Single Market Strategy communication on Wednesday will boost corporate power and limit the democratic space that national and local authorities need to protect people and the environment.

Industrial pollutants like PFAS are an example of the impressive dysfunctionality of the chemical industry and "our" administrations' unwillingness to restrict this sector with a horrible impact on environmental and human health but comparatively low added benefits for society as a whole.

In December a new European Commission will take office. Under the slogan of #competitiveness, they see it as their priority to hack away at public interest rules – from social rights to the environmental protections – that corporations and lobbies consider too ‘inhibiting’.

Here are 16 different initiatives the @eu deregulation campaign will unfold: https://corporateeurope.org/en/2024/11/16-steps-towards-deregulation

16 steps towards deregulation | Corporate Europe Observatory

Under the slogan of ‘competitiveness’, the new Commission will see it as their main task to reduce the ‘regulatory burden’. What they are gearing up to is a single-minded deregulatory quest will hack away at public interest rules ­– from social rights to the environmental protections – that corporations decide are too ‘inhibiting’.We have compiled a list of 16 different ways this will unfold.
