🎉 Happy #EuropeDay!
🇪🇺 Brexit has been a disaster for our country and the Green Party is committed to repairing our relationship with the EU.
💚 We would rejoin the customs union, bring back freedom of movement and rejoin the EU when the time is right.

Delighted by the resounding majority in favour of corporate Due Diligence in the @EP_Legal vote ! This is a huge step towards a European law that will make clear that doing business in the 21st century means doing business responsibly.
Next step ➡️ Plenary on 1 June

Last night we reached a deal in @EP_Legal on the due diligence directive. This is a huge step forward to a European law that will make companies conduct business responsibly. But what is in the deal? 🧵

The Home Secretary, on the face of this Bill, invites Parliament to rip up international law. The only act of a Parliament that has any kind of moral integrity is to rip up her illegal & immoral Bill, which has no place on our statute book. #StopTheBill #RefugeeBanBill @JCWI_UK

CDP's @MirjamWolfrum speaks on the positive EU Parliament vote on the CSRD text. This confirmation of the EU’s ambitions on corporate reporting standards in Europe is testimony to CDP. It shows that companies must report how environmental issues impact them and the environment.

Spain’s water reservoirs are at the lowest levels since 1995.
Its hydropower generation capacity dropped to the lowest point in 5 years, while a dry autumn after the hottest summer on record is coming.
To avoid the worst, we must restore what’s damaged.

The #EU #taxonomy was meant to fight #greenwashing.
It has failed to a degree that 4 leading NGOs have now left the EU platform on Sustainable Finance.
Thank you to @WWFEU @beuc @BirdLifeEurope, @transenv & @ECOS_Standard for making this bold move!
