»new “due #diligence” directive, agreed on with the Council, requiring firms and their upstream and downstream partners, including supply, production and distribution to prevent, end or mitigate their adverse impact on human rights and the environment. Such impact will include slavery, child labour, labour exploitation, biodiversity loss, pollution or destruction of natural heritage.«
The exact moment the Supply Chain Act passed in the EU parliament today after our exhausting protest and months of campaigning. Another huge round of thanks to everyone <3 #CSDDD#EU
I will be organizing a strike in support of the EU’s Supply Chain Act (#CSDDD) TODAY from 10:00-12:00 AM in front of the EU Parliament!
Come to the Rue Wiertz 60, 1047 Bruxelles, Belgique to make parliamentarians vote “YES” on today’s vote and give support during the crucial negotiation period in the parliament right after!
Part of the Young Friends of the Earth (YFoEE) Initiative!
PSA: TELL YOUR MEPs TO HOLD CORPORATIONS ACCOUNTABLE EU-WIDE AND VOTE “YES” ON THE SUPPLY CHAIN ACT TOMORROW
One of the greatest chances for labor and environmental rights worldwide enacted by the EU is currently being destroyed by conservatives!
The #CSDDD is currently being reformed at the last minute in the #EU parliament! The EPP (right-conservatives) is pushing for the attachment of amendments to the law that will make tomorrow’s vote unnecessary, as whether the law passes or doesn’t, with the amendments it wouldn’t make a difference.
The EPP had threatened to walk out on every committee about the CSDDD (yet promised to only do it once, every time) and demanded special treatments watering the Supply Chain Act down to basically nothing. If their amendments get added to the law for the vote tomorrow, there’s no difference to it being passed or not passed. It’s meaningless.
If the amendments by the EPP get attached to the directive before the vote tomorrow, the Supply Chain Act (#CSDDD) is screwed and even the greens, S&D, or THE LEFT will most likely vote against it.
Hey @echo_pbreyer, tomorrow from 8-9 AM MEP Anna Cavazzini has invited every other MEP for a parliamentarian breakfast about the #CSDDD (Lieferkettengesetz) with climate activists from the BUNDjugend (Germany), Belgium, and Uganda.
It’d be wonderful if you could come too. It’s inside of the EU parliament, if you got the time, feel free to come by.
