🧵 Every citizen in the EU produces 12 kilograms of waste per year because of textiles.

But, on average, we only wear our #textile pieces 7 or 8 times before we send them to the waste stream!

“We want to change that”, says @weisspernille.

We have withdrawn from the negotiations on the #NatureRestoration law because:
1️⃣the proposal is flawed
2️⃣our concerns remain unanswered
3️⃣it will endanger our food security & increase inflation

Creating consistency with existing regulations must be the first step. @NiclasHerbst

No more #RegulatoryBurden!

As @NiclasHerbst says: "Everyone is in favour of #NatureRestoration, but it has to be in line with existing regulations and the needs of the industry and the fishing sector as well.

🇪🇺We need to regulate for the people, not against them."

Undoubtedly, the new Polish law, #LexTusk, is designed to eliminate Polish opposition leaders from public life.

Mr Kaczynski, President Duda, do not bring Poland into darkness.

The #IstanbulConvention is often heard in the context of gender-based violence.

So, what has changed in those countries that have ratified it?

Post-pandemic high demand, inflation, and high fuel prices have skyrocketed ticket prices.

With #SingleEuropeanSky, we could have a more effective air traffic control system for Europe and cheaper flights.

Let’s unlock the potential of European airspace.

The current #NatureRestoration proposal obliges EU farmers to abandon 10% of their farmland and do all their activities on only 90 % of their land.

CONSEQUENCES:
⚠️Higher food prices
⚠️More farmers out of business
⚠️ Dependence on third countries

🚨Withdraw this law!

President Duda's signing into law of #LexTusk breaches fundamental democratic principles.

The law further undermines #RuleofLaw in Poland.

It drags Polish democracy into darkness.

It's a disgrace for Poland and the EU! @europarl_en must urgently address it. These are classic autocratic tactics. If you're afraid of elections, afraid of opposition, afraid of checks and balances that define any normal democracy, this is what you do. @jeroen_lenaers #LexTusk
