EPSU<p>Deregulation is not only an EU issue! It has real consequences, even beyond EU's border. One example from the real life: Did you know that the UK's plastic bins end up in Türkiye's deserted areas, dumped - not recycled.

Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO)<p>Overheard at the <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23RulesToProtect" target="_blank">#RulesToProtect</a> conference today: "The Critical Raw Materials Act did not contain anything on protecting communities, as this was supposed to be in CSDDD, but this is now being dismantled.
