Intensive industry lobbying has opposed #REACH improvements such as:

➡️ inclusion of polymers
➡️ tackling ‘cocktail effect’ of mixing chemicals
➡️ speeding-up removal of harmful chemicals
Instead a key industry ask will likely lead to slower & weaker regulation

Industry’s spin and privileged access to the highest levels of the Commission, alongside the current EU hostility to new green rules and mania for deregulation, appear to have fatally undermined a key European Green Deal ambition.

Today Commission President von der Leyen returns to #Antwerp to cosy-up to the chemicals & wider industry.

Tomorrow 🇪🇺 leaders meet in #AldenBiesen to discuss further rolling-back of social & environmental rules.
When will EU stand up to big polluters?

https://www.corporateeurope.org/en/2026/02/reaching-out

Quote from Vicky Cann, CEO researcher which says: The European Commission is getting its priorities wrong. The chemicals pollution, biodiversity, and climate crises are doing untold damage to people and environments around Europe and beyond. Yet the Commission’s leaders would rather cosy up to industry than deliver on its promises to tackle harmful chemicals. It’s time for the Commission to stand up to big polluters and deliver the strong REACH reform that it promised in 2020.

Do you ever imagine a world of love and care?

What would you be doing right now if you lived there?

I gotta say this live does not reflect what I wrote in May 2025 about her latest album…

It is a whole different thing experienced with Ezra Furman in front of you.

Listening to Goodbye Small Head, Ezra Furman’s latest album.

It’s sweet and sincere, but I must say that Perpetual Motion People is just unbeatable.

Probably I feel it more because it’s lighter and more immature, just like me, but it hits very close to home, and I love it for this.

We will continue to take to the streets to protest vigorously. We will not abandon the courageous fighters who are now giving their lives for Rojava and Kurdistan. Kurds are taking to the streets everywhere. In Kurdistan, in Turkey, in Europe, and around the world. The protests are getting stronger and stronger. We are on the streets day and night. Our message to the international community: you can betray the Kurds, that is your shameful choice, but we will resist, and that is our proud choice. That is why we are going to the European Commission in Brussels.

Thursday, January 22:
14h At Schumanplein. Wetstraat 232, 1040 Brussels.

Wij blijven de straat optrekken om krachtig te protesteren. We laten de moedige strijders die nu hun leven geven voor Rojava en Koerdistan niet alleen. Overal komen de Koerden op straat. In Koerdistan, in Turkije, in Europa en de wereld. De acties worden sterker en sterker. Dag en nacht zijn we op straat. Ons boodschap aan de internationale gemeenschap: jij kan de Koerden verraden, dat is uw schandelijke keuze, maar wij gaan in verzet, en dat is onze trotse keuze. Daarom trekken we naar de Europese Commissie in Brussel.

Bonjour #Bruxelles #Charleroi #Liège #Mons #Namur #Tournai et toute la #Belgique francophone ! Je me demandais si on est beaucoup de membres #Smart #SmartCoop #Smartbe sur Mastodon ? Un peu frustré par "Rejoignez le groupe Facebook", je me demandais s'il y avait déjà eu une initiative similaire ici ? Sinon, on ne se bricolerait pas un hashtag sur mesure, par exemple #MembreSmart ?

(Pardon d'avoir exclu #Antwerp et #Gent de ma question, je suis français et je ne parle pas encore suffisamment bien NL)

Le retoot fait avancer le modèle coopératif 🙂
