[BONNE NOUVELLE]

Ce 27 nov. une très grande majorité de députés votent une résolution appelant E. Macron à s'opposer à l'accord UE-Mercosur et à construire une minorité de blocage, pas à négocier une clause de sauvegarde inefficace.

Roberta Metsola @president.europarl.europa.eu denied a request from 145 MEPs to ask for a legal opinion on the #EUMercosur deal

Her argument - that the EU has to sign the deal before MEPs can ask the Court of Justice to check its legality - is plainly and obviously wrong

Here's why:

Europe considers these pesticides too toxic for use at home - yet exports them to other countries✈️

This double standard is deadly and needs to end.

🌍 Watch civil society and farmer organisations around the world send them back to Brussels 👇

La Présidente du Parlement 🇪🇺 a rejeté notre demande de saisir la CJUE sur l’accord UE–Mercosur. Rien ne s’y opposait juridiquement : ce refus semble être une ingérence politique.

J’ai fait un rappel au règlement en séance plénière, pour faire valoir notre droit à saisir la justice européenne⬇️

🚨Le #ToxicTradeTour s’est achevé à BXL aujd, avec un message clair pour Von der Leyen et Bart de Wever :
📢Stoppez l’accord #UEmercosur car il est toxique : pour l’agriculture, la santé, le climat, l’environnement et la biodiversité, les droits sociaux et les droits humains, en 🇪🇺 et dans le Mercosur.

🚨Alerte ! Notre recours contre l’accord UE-Mercosur porte devant la CJUE, signé par 145 parlementaires, vient d’être bloqué par la présidente du Parlement 🇪🇺 qui refuse qu'il soit examiné tant que l'accord n'est pas signé par le conseil.

EU Parliament President @president.europarl.europa.eu blocking her own institution from voting? Outrageous.

+Ironic, given that the motion is about asking the advice of the EU Court of Justice, in order to guarantee that the EU-Mercosur deal is aligned with EU law. www.euractiv.com/news/meps-bl...

What are you afraid of @president.europarl.europa.eu ?
145 MEPs tabled a motion to refer the EU-Mercosur deal to the Court of Justice of the EU

The EPP wants to block that motion at a key meeting TONIGHT

Why? If the deal is legal, let the courts say so

What’s the EPP afraid of?

Is it because they think the court will find an issue?

Can someone explain me how the EP can vote a text on safeguards that refers to trade agreements that we haven't voted on yet 🤨...

The EP pressurised by the EPP leadership is weakening the Parliament’s role and trying to bypass a lawful request of 145 MEPs (Art.218.11 TFEU).
The EU Parliament is set to fast-track a vote on one of the final hurdles in front of the trade agreement with the Latin American Mercosur bloc, three parliament officials told POLITICO.
Mercosur momentum grows with fast-track vote on safeguards likely next week
Leaders of the chamber will pave the way for a fast-track vote, and derail a push to refer the Latin America trade deal to the EU’s top court, say officials.

The EU-Mercosur “safeguard clause” isn’t a safeguard. It won’t protect farmers or local markets. ECVC urges the EU to reject this deal. Join us in Brussels on 24 Nov to say NO to EU-Mercosur!

2/ La réalité, c’est que cet accord renforcerait l’agro-industrie, celle-là même qui rase la forêt, expulse les peuples autochtones et détruit les écosystèmes.

Et tout cela… alors que la #COP30 se tient aux portes de l’Amazonie.
Un contresens absolu.

The EU banned epoxiconazole, but still produces it to export to the Global South!
It is a fungicide banned in2020, toxic to reproduction as it negatively impacts fertility, a healthy pregnancy, concerns to cause cancer, & very toxic to aquatic life, birds and wild animals.

Today is #WorldFoodDay ! It happens that EU bans toxic pesticides... but then still exports them to all corners of the world. And that is ⤴️ ever more: 120.000 tons in 2024, so we decided to send them back to the Commission. They have been waiting 5 years to act & stop this unethical double standard!
