RT @thomaswaitz: The soaring prices are hitting the poorest the hardest.
We're calling for a #MinimumIncome directive that sets minimum income at 60% of the median income per EU country!
The vote in the European Parliament will be next week.

RT @social_platform: #MinimumIncome is a crucial safety net against poverty BUT most schemes fail to lift people over the poverty line.

Support next week's @europarl_en resolution calling for a much needed EU directive - to guarantee schemes leave no one behind. Let's get everyone #OvertheLine! 🙌

RT @ECOS_Standard: We are incredibly happy!

@EP_Environment just approved an ambitious report on the #CPR, ensuring:

✅self-developed industry #standards will not be used to develop environmental regulation
✅#cement will be regulated by more ambitious legislation, under the Ecodesign Regulation

RT @JorenVerschaeve: Great to see that today's vote @EP_Environment on #CPR acknowledges the need to place #cement under #ESPR for environmental requirements! World's most consumed man-made material, with emissions still 📈, requires the strongest 🔧in Europe's toolbox 💪#greendeal #racetozero

Kippenvel. Moed en leiderschap om Europa, onze waarden en idealen te verdedigen.

Historisch moment @Europarl_BE. Oekraïense President Zelensky bezoekt het hart van onze democratie.

EU moet duidelijk signaal geven dat we 🇺🇦blijven steunen tot de overwinning.

As a next step, the internal market committee will negotiate and vote the text by the end of May, after which we will have a plenary vote of the European Parliament.

As rapportrice of the ENVI committee, I will keep defending the points above in the coming months!

We convinced our colleagues in the environment committee that the much better performing ecodesign law should be able to set environmental requirements for key construction products.

We want this in particular for cement, which comprises 3% of all EU carbon emissions.👇

This standardisation process doesn't live up to the environmental urgency. Hardly any harmonized EU standards were published in over the last 10 years. That is why we insisted on maximum alignment with another key regulation on ecodesign. That law has delivered a lot of impact.👇

We found agreement in the environment committee to strengthen these 'ecodesign' obligations across the board. Importantly, we also improve the way these are set.
The Commission should create standards & obligations, instead of outsourcing it to a broken standardisation process👇

The building sector creates 1/3 of all waste and 10% of climate emissions. It uses half of all raw materials, while only 1% of construction products are reused.
Hence the regulation will set product requirements to improve circularity and reduce environmental impact of products👇

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/msaraswati/status/1623658948753518594

We urgently need the building sector on board of the Green Deal transition.

That's why I'm happy that we voted a key legislative proposal on construction products in the environment committee of the EU Parliament today.

Here's a quick round-up of what we achieved.👇

The establishment of the Social Climate Fund is a first step, but I will continue to fight for more European funding.

This will allow us to accelerate investments in the renovation of homes, in order to reduce people's energy bills. (3/3)

It is simply unfair to increase the bills of people with the lowest incomes like this.

That is why I have constantly fought for the protection of the most vulnerable groups. (2/3)

👍 The vote on EU climate laws is a big step forward for climate,

👎but insufficient from a social perspective.

As coordinator of the Committee @EPSocialAffairs , I have therefore abstained on the carbon tax for families on buildings and transport. (1/3)
