#EUMercosur: rumours are there may be a hasty attempt at a trilogue tomorrow if MEPs amend the safeguards for farmers today
Trying to wrap up 25 years of sensitive talks in a single day in one of the busiest weeks of the year = desperation
Meanwhile, Italy too now wants a delay

It's a disgrace that the president of the European Parliament is using such a shamelessly bogus argument to silence elected officials, just to push through an unpopular, undemocratic and possibly illegal trade deal that will accelerate nature destruction

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

"Today's agreement marks the beginning of the post-fossil era," the president of the European Commission said in a social media post.

EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen hailed on Wednesday (13 December) the deal struck at the COP28 climate summit as the dawn of a new world with no need for coal or oil.
The final text, agreed on Wednesday morning (13 December), calls on UNFCCC parties to triple renewable energy capacity globally and double the annual rate of energy efficiency improvements by 2030.
“Today’s agreement marks the beginning of the post-fossil era,” the president of the European Commission said in a social media post.
It also calls on countries to “Transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems” by 2050 in accordance with the science.
“A crucial part of this historic deal is truly made in Europe,” von der Leyen rejoiced. “The whole world endorsed our 2030 targets: to triple renewable energy and to double energy efficiency, both by 2030.”
EU climate chief Wopke Hoekstra also spoke of a historic decision, saying it will set in motion an “irreversible” transition away from fossil fuels.
“With that, we have achieved what we set out to do: keep 1.5 within reach and mark the beginning of the end of fossil fuels,” he said on social media platform X.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xujiomimpwqvef6ikglhrdla/bafkreid4rm25blxdgas7tv77dbnfgyuotbgbqkoifanqdm2uivvfojtgua@jpeg)

The EU isn’t fighting fossil fuels themselves, but the emissions they produce that fuel climate change, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said at a press conference in South Africa ahead of the G20 leaders’ meeting on Friday.
The distinction is likely to send shock waves all the way to Brazil, where the United Nations’ climate change conference, COP30, is about to wrap up.
In Brazil, negotiators are discussing whether to establish a roadmap to meet the pledge countries made two years ago to transition away from fossil fuels. That decision was seen as a major achievement for the European Union’s international climate diplomacy.
Any perceived weakening of Brussels’ position on fossil fuels could undermine the chances of ensuring bold global commitments to end their use. A draft COP30 deal, published Friday, dropped the proposal, mentioned in a previous draft, to convene a conference to help world governments set up roadmaps to end their dependence on fossil fuels.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xujiomimpwqvef6ikglhrdla/bafkreihyofpuzynpw5y3b3f7iyj657dzjb6l7kdqlg4usj4dj4osig56bq@jpeg)

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?

What would you say to someone who thinks the EU-Mercosur deal is just about economic opportunity?
Dinamam Tuxá @apiboficial.bsky.social is an Indigenous leader of the Tuxá people, from the Tuxá Indigenous Land in Brazil. He came to Brussels to tell EU leaders exactly why the deal is so harmful.

Throwback to when Greenpeace activists scaled the EU Council building in Brussels to install a live counter (with moving numbers!) of how much forest was being destroyed while the EU's environment ministers were discussing the EU's forest law inside
This was 2022 – that law is still not implemented
