NEW study: read our analysis of the EU-#MERCOSUR trade agreement, which reveals its negative effects on consumer rights, environment, climate & animal welfare.
"The fight against #climatechange means we have to stop this deal," says our @anna_cavazzini

#Mercosur - it's the issue of the day as Ireland's farmers continue to deal with unsustainably low prices. I'm proud to be co-organising this event with Green MEPs (+newly elected senator @pippa_hackett!) on the environmental + economic effects of a potential deal, next Wednsday

Yesterday the @europeangreens endorsed a strong resolution against the EU-#Mercosur trade deal.
The Green family across the EU will oppose out-of-date agreements that don't climate-proof our trade policy and deliver strong social and eco protection.

The deaths of indigenous people in the Amazon just keeps growing.
Lost lives for logging, mining, farming and profiteering off their home.
Each one a reminder of Bolsonaro's disregard for indigenous people, as well as the Amazon Rainforest.

10) On investment protection- arguably the biggest fight on EU trade policy in the last 5 years- Hogan wasn't sure on the detail, referring to @anna_cavazzini's expertise on the issue- despite it crippling chances of a US trade deal under Obama & widespread protest #ISDS #MIC

Some 'hot takes' on Phil Hogan's rejection by Green/EFA MEPs yesterday evening.
(1) First, it's clear Hogan is strong when it comes to the US, China, the need to uphold the multilateral trading system. Here virtually no one disagrees.

We are unable to support the candidacy of @PhilHoganEU for #Trade Commissioner. The #ClimateEmergency demands concrete & ambitious action in trade policy which was not reflected in his #EPhearing2019 yesterday evening.

This week, MEPs are holding hearings for the Commissioner-designates to check their suitability for proposed roles. Today @GreensEFA MEPs on the International Trade Committee are hoping to see evidence that @PhilHoganEU clearly understands the links between trade and climate...
HEARING of Phil Hogan, Commissioner-designate, Trade from @EP_Trade
today 18.30 - 21.30 (Room: JAN 2Q2)

Here we go- can Hogan deliver genuine answers to the climate crisis when it comes to trade policy? #Mercosur is a case in point but not the full picture, and weak provisions in EU trade deals on sustainability are just not cutting it. #hearings
The European Commissioner-designate for trade, Ireland’s @PhilHoganEU, is being questioned by members of the @Europarl_EN in Brussels, as part of a week of hearings to establish the new @EU_Commission. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1eaKbAylB…

If we combine our voices with Indigenous communities of the Amazon, we can make European politicians and Bolsonaro realise that the Indigenous communities in the Amazon are not alone in their fight. ✊
