Erop of eronder! Aan de hechte samenwerking tussen PvdA en GL zal het niet liggen.
Om 12 is de stemming. De uitslag volgt direct daarna.
Following up to @GRiekeles piece in the Guardian, @SchaldemoseMEP @repasi and I wrote a letter to EP President Roberta Metsola. Calling to suspend access to parliament for shadow lobbyists.
RT @IratxeGarper: I am very clear: @TheProgressives will vote against.
What about @ManfredWeber and @steph_sejourne ?
See my contribution to the #Taxonomy debate here 👇
RT @TheProgressives: Are we still serious about defending our planet and building a sustainable 🇪🇺 for all?
By labelling gas and nuclear as ‘green’, we answer this question with a clear ‘no’.
This deal favours just a few, while we need solutions that work for all Europeans
More from @paultang 👇
Starting now, the @europarl_en will debate whether to give fossil gas and nuclear the green label. We need to stop this institutionalized greenwashing and build a science-based taxonomy. #NotMyTaxonomy
Parliament today adopted the final texts of the Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act! Congrats @SchaldemoseMEP and @Andreas_Schwab.
With no thanks to some of big tech lobbyists 👇
Thank you @InnSovsun for telling your colleagues from the European Parliament what's at stake: Green label for gas means Power to Putin!
RT @TheProgressives: Ahead of today’s debate and tomorrow’s vote in the European Parliament on the commission’s taxonomy proposal @paultang explains that the 🇪🇺Commission should withdraw this act & come up w/ a better proposal, that does not greenwash nuclear & gas but sets us on a sustainable path.
RT @_mattjthompson: European Commission official: HU will negotiate to unveto global tax EU transposition, but Brussels lawmaker more sceptical on Budapest's motives.
@paultang, head of EUParl tax committee cynical saying "HU veto not about tax" simply "hostage diplomacy."
Great! Greening monetary policy will increase pressure on companies to walk the talk and transition to climate neutrality
This was recurring theme during our exchanges with @Lagarde in @EP_Economics

RT @ecb: 🧵We're taking further steps to incorporate climate change into our monetary policy operations.
We'll better account for climate change in our:
1⃣corporate bond purchases
2⃣collateral framework
3⃣dis…
Zwabberend kabinetsbeleid op klimaat staat bedrijven in de weg. Jammer dat deze boodschap van @VNONCW ondergesneeuwd raakt door het bekende "minder belasting" riedeltje.

What many 🇪🇺 Commissioners think in private, @TimmermansEU says out loud: the decision to greenwash fossil gas in the EU taxonomy is simply wrong.
Up to @europarl_en to vote it down on Wednesday!
RT @diego_bxl: "If I was alone, there are many @EU_Commission decisions that would have been different. On taxonomy as well", says @TimmermansEU in @ChambreLux.
Yes, if not with, then without Hungary!
Good that France (but also Germany) refuses to be blackmailed
The beauty of this minimal tax is that Hungary won’t benefit from isolation. Other EU countries will simply tax all profits Hungary won’t.

@lexhoogduin Welke coëfficiënt gebruik je voor het inflatieverschil dan? Want ik kan de uitkomst nog niet plaatsen
Laat dit het startschot zijn voor loonherstel!
Dit is ook een tik op de vingers van de haviken die (altijd) waarschuwen voor een loon-prijsspiraal

Nu zo’n verbod op BNers in crypto-reclames
Zo lang crypto lijkt op gokken en niet op beleggen.
The warning to our colleagues is clear: don't turn 🇪🇺 from climate frontrunner🦅 into climate laggard🦥.
Vote against fossil gas and nuclear in the EU Taxonomy #notmytaxonomy!

Giving gas and nuclear a green label would be "a gift to Putin", Ukrainian MP and scientists tell us
Tonight's deal on the "transfer of funds regulation" explained 👇
Thanks for the excellent cooperation @ernesturtasun and @Assita_Kanko!
RT @ernesturtasun: 1/Deal! After months of negotiations with the Council, we agreed the most ambitious travel rule for transfers of crypto-assets in the world. We are putting an end to the wild west of unregulated crypto, closing major loopholes in the European anti-money laundering rules. Thread👇
