"L'obstruction, le retard ou l'affaiblissement de réglementations démocratiquement adoptées signalent un changement de priorités en faveur du profit privé à court terme, au détriment des objectifs sociaux et environnementaux à long terme"

We wrapped up the #RulesToProtect Conference - that's a commitment for a better future, where people and the planet comes before profit. Huge thanks everyone for joining!

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. This is why we need #RulesToProtect - for a future for all!

Did you know that firefighters' life expectancy is 7 YEAR LESS than the general population? Climate change brought more frequent floods and forest fires - we need more regulation, not less. EPSU's policy officer Pablo Sanchez explain why we need #RulesToProtect.

"Deregulation" is not a technical word - it's a political choice with serious consequences in real-life. From the water we drink to air we breathe, from rules at work protecting us to corporate responsibilities... We need #RulesToProtect our lives! Our conference started with a full-house!

Toon Penen, Grondrecht: "We are poisoned by #PFAS pollution by #3M, and even so they are trying to get more permits to pollute. Half the population has too high levels of PFAS in their bodies. We need policies to stop PFAS pollution to protect these people's rights!" #RulesToProtect conference

It's so nice to see a completely crowded room at the #RulesToProtect conference, that is about to start now! The topics of discussion will include the rights we have and the ones we need, and policies that work for people with interventions from campaigners, trade unions and impacted communities

On my way to Brussels for discussions on how we will stop corporate capture and the deregulatory wave in the EU. We need #rulestoprotect us. #DMA #DSA #REACH #CSDDD
