In her #deregulation drive, @vonderleyen re the @EUCommission is still to put forward before #Xmas:
10.12. ENVI Omnibus (us: #HandsOffNature)
10.12. (delay?): AUTO Package (hello combustion engine phase-out?)
16.12. FOOD Omnibus (hello #pesticides approval?)
2025/2026: Grid Package? (hello EIA/AA)
2026: ReSourceEU (hello #Water Laws)
But where is the proposal to support funding the #RestoreNature Regulation. Where on pesticides reduction, better animal welfare? Where the enforcement push?

She is so right - @teresaribera as to the current #deregulation drive! https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-red-tape-cutting-terrible-political-spectacle-teresa-ribera-says/

„Inequality is a policy choice – produced by specific economic, political and legal decisions rather than by “globalisation” or technology. Financial deregulation, weakening labour protections and privatisation all aid rising inequality, as does cutting corporate and top income tax rates.“

Josep Borrell: "Trump’s plan to end the war in Ukraine exposes the failure of the EU’s appeasement strategy. Giving in to his demands on military spending, tariffs, digital deregulation, multinational taxation and energy supplies has achieved nothing. ...Trump’s United States can no longer be considered an ally of Europe, which is not even consulted on matters affecting its own security."

The EU commission's own report on the efficacy/appropriateness of mass surveillance:
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:52025DC0740
"The data isn't giving us the conclusions we want so it must be the data's fault."
This report was written by (alledgedly) functioning adults that are capable of dressing themselves in the morning.
Despite their insipid stupidity they have survived into adulthood and are now in positions of power.
This should be enough reason to invoke article 222 TFEU to protect the EU from this active attack on its sovereignty:

Unfortunately, the enemies are already behind the gates so they would probably just use the crisis to pass emergency motions to further that agenda. #ChatControl, the gutting of #GDPR, #deregulation, #surveillancecapitalism, #authoritarianstack.
Politicians pushing the #bigtech agenda aren't in bed with the public enemy, they are the public enemy.

My only objection here is "Europe is next" - no, Europe is already in process.

Remember, the people behind this push for an authoritarian technocracy are actively extending their reach to #Europe.
#ChatControl, the gutting of #GDPR, #deregulation, #surveillancecapitalism and all other initiatives that impinge on citizens' rights at the behest of #BigTech are the harbingers of this scourge. This fight is an existential one.

⚠️ The Ombudsperson's findings on the Commission's maladministration also included those the #deregulation agenda: The Commission also did not follow proper rules for the Omnibus proposal on corporate sustainability and due diligence and on the Common Agricultural Policy.
This assessment shows serious procedural shortcuts from the EU's executive body that has clearly resulted in rushed and harmful lawmaking. The #DigitalOmnibus launched last week is a result of the same.
Findings #EUOmbudsman on 3 complaints concerning corporate sustainability due diligence (Omnibus I), the Common Agricultural Policy, and countering migrant smuggling. EU Better Regulation is to 'ensure law-making is evidence-based, transparent, and inclusive'.

It's an absolute disgrace that the fundamental rights of 450m EU citizens are being attacked on so many fronts under obviously disingenuous motivations such as "protect the children" and "make it simpler".

À partir du 1er janvier, le gouvernement s’engage dans une déréglementation totale d’un bien essentiel et une mise à sac du service public de l’électricité. Tous les clients seront soumis à la volatilité des marchés. Tous, sauf les grands groupes. Le gouvernement s’est refusé à ouvrir un débat public sur le sujet.

“Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women … have rendered the notion of ‘capitalist democracy’ into an oxymoron.”
