Re @BernardD66 @noonan_malcolm Hi Bernard,
I sit on the Parliament's Delegation for Relations with Mercosur and the Greens/EFA Group is against a Mercosur trade deal - for environmental and human rights reasons firstly.

Re @BernardD66 @noonan_malcolm The Parliament also voted in April in favour of increased due diligence which will stop the sale of products which have led to deforestation https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20230414IPR80129/parliament-adopts-new-law-to-fight-global-deforestation

Monday will mark 38 years since French secret services conducted a bombing attack on our boat and killed my friend Fernando Pereira.
Justice has never been served.

Re @Clare_DuffyIre @jimlowry76 @paulkillumney64 Hi Clare thanks for the comment. There is no 20% target for rewilding in the law.

Re @paulkillumney64 Hi Paul. No, 20% of farmland will not be rewilded under the NRL.

Abbeyleix Bog is a great example of how nature restoration gives back to communities and the environment 🇮🇪
It would be great to see more examples like this across Europe. Next week MEPs vote to #RestoreNature

This is juvenile. The leadership of the EPP in the European Parliament has lost its way
They have allied with the far right and now they are spreading disinformation about the Nature Restoration Law
I'm working to convince their MEPs to vote with their conscience #RestoreNature https://n.respublicae.eu/EPPGroup/status/1676864056412745728

EPP Group: "Mr Timmermans, don't kick Santa out of his house," says @petrisarvamaa.
The #NatureRestoration Law has good intentions but bad design.
For example, it would turn the entire city of Rovaniemi into a forest and other nature areas.
Withdraw the #NatureRestoration bill! https://t.co/NBYhbBV1bm

Good news! The EU Commission today announced the first ever Soil Health Law 🌿
A binding measure to stop soil degradation was a key ask of the Environment Action Programme I negotiated earlier this term. We will now protect soil in the same way we do air and water quality 🌊 https://t.co/3kGL3XimFY

The continued attacks on refugee camps in Palestine, including the destruction of civilian infrastructure as a form of collective punishment, is intolerable.
The EU and its Member States need to act with more than just another condemnation of the violence. https://t.co/UI4OLtmiYG

"Half [of Ireland's] waterways are polluted and a third of our bee species and two-thirds of our bird species are threatened with extinction."
We need all MEPs in support of an ambitious Nature Restoration Law 🌿 it's now or never

Re @damienwlr @podonovan @wlrfm I did thanks Damien. If the deputy could present evidence for his claim rewetted bogs flood houses, I would be very interested to hear.
The fantastic farmers engaged in the @farmpeatproject might be happy to correct the deputy's claims that rewetting is the same as flooding.

Re @nollaigobuachal And unfortunately more and more of these clothes contain microplastics now which end up in our soil and sea.

Imagine Marine Protected Areas covering 30% of Ireland's seas. Whole new 'national parks' with benefits for nature 🪼, fisheries 🎣 and tourism 🤿
That's what we're working towards this year 🌊 and turns out its actually quite cheap!
