@itxaso whilst this is undoubtedly good news, the most worrying part is that the @EUCouncil demonstrates time and again their intentions are aligned with US #bigtech and #surveillancecapitalism at the cost of #eu citizens' rights.
They relentlessly persist in pushing these kinds of policies and every inch they gain is a wedge that will be used to bootstrap even more dystopian initiatives.
Airlines are banks that happen to fly airplanes:

Starbucks is a bank that happens to serve coffee:
The airlines are worse though, because they are "central banks". The rewards points? They "mint" them (print money) and sell them to credit card companies.

"The impact of Trump's attacks on the IRS,🚨in two charts."
A Hall, The Economist
Trump🚨is looting the treasury, enriching him/family, & his chosen #oligarchs. Republicans are to blame, they've defunded the IRS & made #deregulation a priority for years.
Biden was able to fund & enpower the IRS, & facilitated compliance. Most Americans must pay their taxes through payroll taxes & withholdings, but the #TrumpRegime has given the criminals, free-rein.

With Latest Rollback, the #US Essentially Has No #CleanCar Rules
The #EPA’s killing of the #EndangermentFinding caps a year of #deregulation that is likely to make #cars thirstier for #gas & less competitive globally, experts say. [absolutely true, other countries have regulations, if US cars aren’t made to meet their standards, no one can buy them anywhere but in the US. Idiotic.]

Trump’s four major economic policies, which dampened US growth last year, are now projected to boost GDP by 0.85 percentage points in 2026, driven by tax cuts and deregulation, according to the International Finance Center.

Retreat at Belgian castle paves the way for harsh EU #deregulation plan to be agreed at March Summit ⚠️
Last week's European Industry Summit (Antwerp) and EU Summit (Alden Biesen) were arguably the most corporate-captured events the EU has ever experienced 🚨

@jik obviously this is all due to #deregulation because in places where #health is considered a #HumanRight and not a #comodity, they are regulated harder than 'must-provide' #utilities.
US Environmental Law Enforcement Plummets Amidst Deregulation Push
https://newsletter.tf/us-environment-rules-less-enforcement/
Environmental law enforcement in the US has decreased significantly, leading to concerns about pollution and public health.

Less Enforcement of Environment Rules in US
Reports show that the United States is taking fewer actions against people and companies that break environmental rules. This is happening as the government tries to reduce regulations. Many people are worried about what this means for clean air, water, and our health.

No, @EUCommission, #independence does not "start with a strong economy."
Your social media team just makes stuff up in order to rhetorically connect your pro-business #deregulation policies that hurt people with the very justified fears people have in the face of our dependencies to #Trump #America.
And here is another one.
@generationsfutures.fr@bsky.brid.gy has a great website where you can take action on several #deregulation #omnibus proposals.

3/ Today's 🇪🇺 leaders retreat in #AldenBiesen will discuss proposals from hard-right prime ministers #Merz & #Meloni for accelerating #deregulation: * ending "over-regulation" * Omnibus law to speed up permitting * getting an "emergency brake" on new 🇪🇺 legislation considered "too burdensome"
1/ Commission President von der Leyen & EU government leaders meet today for a 'competitiveness' retreat in #AldenBiesen 🇧🇪 VDL, since her reappointment in 2024, has unleashed an aggressive #deregulation agenda Worryingly, she is now getting absolute backing from #Merz, #Meloni, #DeWever & others
2/ Yesterday von der Leyen met with corporate leaders at the #Antwerp Summit, listening to industry lobby demands for further #deregulation She promised she would use today's 🇪🇺 summit in #AldenBiesen to "discuss with leaders how to match the pace you need. It is time to further accelerate" 🚨

In #Antwerp today VDL delivered what industry wanted to hear, including more #deregulation via '28th regime' But this would mean parallel but weaker rules. It could help corporations avoid stricter member state rules for taxation, labour laws etc, triggering a race to the bottom for social rights
