Many years the trend in EU agriculture has been the same: less and less, larger and larger. EU agricultural policies have only accelerated this trend. And now conservative policies come to rescue? Own it; these have been your policies for years. Ps data are pre-Green Deal.

RT by @BasEickhout: On Tuesday, the EU Parliament will vote on the final text of the #NatureRestorationLaw, agreed with EU governments.

Last July, liberal and conservative politicians teamed up with the far right to block this law - in vain.

Now all eyes are on this #EPlenary. #RestoreNature

RT by @BasEickhout: Together, we are stronger than any geopolitics. People’s unity can accomplish more than any dictator. And courage, ordinary people's courage, can turn the pages of history that appeared to never end.

Dear friends, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. I thank you for every package of assistance that helps our soldiers fight and strengthens our state. I appreciate every sanction decision against Russia. And I thank you for every step that enables us to bring this war to a fair end.

Putin must lose in absolutely everything, just as he did here, in Hostomel. Only in this way will peace prevail.

RT by @BasEickhout: Answering a question by @BasEickhout in @EP_Environment, @BUrl_EFSA (speaking in personal capacity) shares interesting thoughts on the transition to sustainable #FoodSystems. He stresses the need to address the (delicate) issue of diets, and to tackle the hidden costs of food.

Een van de laatste klimaatdeals in dit Europees Parlement. Trots dat ik hierop hoofdonderhandelaar kon zijn. Strengere CO2-normen voor vrachtwagens en bussen:

For my European friends in

https://nitter.cz/VVD
will be ready to step in a government with Geert Wilders (ID).

RT by @BasEickhout: Niet te volgen. Dus al op 10 januari bereikten de vier partijen overeenstemming over een tekst over de rechtsstaat.

En concludeerde NSC dat er omwille van de rechtsstaat geen basis was om met de PVV verder te gaan, in meerderheids- of minderheidsconstructie

The EU 2040 climate goal will be 90%. On the low end, but I am satisfied. Less satisfactory however: the Commission does not mention the agricultural sector at all.
You can put it away in this communication, but that doesn't make the problem go away.

Dusss. Vorige week hoefden boeren niet meer aan natuurbescherming te werken. Deze week sneuvelt het verminderen van pesticidengebruik. En wordt landbouw niet in de klimaatcommunicatie 2040 genoemd. Geen boer geholpen met inkomen, meer onduidelijkheid en slecht nieuws voor milieu.

So Commission withdraws proposal on pesticides reduction.
https://nitter.cz/vonderleyen
says she 'could' come with a new proposal. And she should! It is in everyone's interest, especially the farmers', that we reduce use of pesticides. Naive to think pesticides industry will not fight it again.
