#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The Green family across the EU will oppose out-of-date agreements that don't climate-proof our trade policy and deliver strong social and eco protection.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.

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…
(4) That's why this @politico story matters. The EU Commission are supporting a reform effort of the Energy Charter Treaty, but as long as we are members, the EU's climate ambition is threatened.
It's time they think about exiting the #ECT for good.

(2) Already the #ECT has locked-in billions worth in fossil fuel projects, which are protected through a investor-protection mechanism, meaning that if we stop these projects for climate concerns, signatory countries can be sued for loss of profits. Meanwhile 🌎 🔥. – at Elsene, België
(1) The EU's membership of the antiquated Energy Charter Treaty means the fossil fuel industry can sue for billions if the EU changes its energy policies.
But guess what? The EU needs to change its energy policy to avoid #climatechaos.
