Loading ...EU backs down on agricultural emissions after farmers’ protests
This is 12 hours old…how come we haven’t heard of this ? It’s not on any of the Conservative news agregator sites i monitor .
Is it enough to send the Farmers Home ?
…………….
WOWOW ! This is obviously a “Clean Energy” Blog and the articles they have up today are ALL Hugely Positive for US.
It appears there is complete and total capitulation on all fronts pending the new EU Elections this year which promise to elect Many more Populist ANTI Green Members .
Have a look…am I missing something ?
AND !
EU scraps pesticide proposals in another concession to protesting farmers
“The European Union’s executive arm has shelved an anti-pesticides proposal in yet another concession to farmers after weeks of protests blocked major capitals and economic lifelines across the 27-nation bloc.
Although the proposal had languished in EU institutions for the past two years, the move by European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen was the latest indication that the bloc is willing to sacrifice environmental priorities to keep the farming community on its side.”
Just a thought
What if all the farmers and truckers and trades people and cab drivers all just stopped paying any and all taxes en mass. millions of them
Wouldn’t that do it ?
Wouldn’t that stop all the Bullshit ?
These appear to be proposals NOT agreements to resolve the problem. Will the farmers fall for the distraction or continue their protests until something concrete is offered. Very convenient that the “details” will not be ironed out until AFTER the next election……..usually by then it’s too late!
Reuters says today’s proposals will “kick off the political debate on the target”, but adds that “it will be up to a new European Commission, formed after EU elections in June, to make a final legal proposal”
“The updated version of the plan, which is still subject to change, etc. etc. etc…………
Provisions need to be CODIFIED.
Such that changes can ONLY be made via referendums, not EU fiat/diktat.
Agree with all that BUT these Proposals are NEW since the Protests have been started.
It’s a HUGE win NO DOUBT….and the new EU Parlaiment will most certaily be more farmer Friendly …massively so according to many articles we have seen…There is a huge coalition of Populist Parties including the Ruling Party in the netherlands …from all EU States that will be sending a large contingent to the new EU Parlaiment according to polls.
Vonder Lyin is behind all these changes …tryig to save her party’s ass in the upcoming elections
The way I read it is THESE were Always Proposals and that is what triggered the Farmer Protests…They aimed to stop these Proposals from becoming law…and they Have turned it all around
Thats how it looks here to me
It’s like pulling teeth around here to get anybody else to see a WIN when we HAVE a Win !
Whats so hard about this ?
There were Proposals in the new Legislation slated to be Implimented by the Globalists who control the EU ( FOR NOW ) before the New EU Parlaiment is sworn in after an election in June which will bring in many more populists and Anti EU members…The Farmers Surrounded the EU Parlaimentary Buildings Dumped Bullshit all over them..close roads to the Capitals, Dug Up Highways …closed Airports..Destroyed Foreign Trucks bringing in Foreign Agricultural products …and the Vonder Lyin lead Parlaiment rewrote the Proposals to completely reverse the Anti Farmenr Proposals.
WIN !!
From the second Article
“The decision to shelve the proposal on pesticides represented the EU’s latest act of political self-retribution in reaction to protests that have affected the daily lives of tens of millions of EU citizens and cost businesses tens of millions of euros due to transportation delays.
Many politicians, especially on the right and its fringes, applauded the impact of the protests.
“Long live the farmers, whose tractors are forcing Europe to take back the nonsense imposed by multinationals and the left,” said Italy’s right-wing transport minister Matteo Salvini.
Last week, Ms von der Leyen announced plans to shield farmers from cheaper products exported from wartime Ukraine and to allow farmers to use some land they had been required to keep fallow for environmental reasons.”
When these proposals are final and CANNOT be reversed by anyone — then the farmers have a win.
Otherwise this is still negotiations (and the farmers are doing a great job) that are not yet finished.
Very encouraging indeed but incomplete!
HERE IS WHAT MY AI PROGRAM JUST HAD TO SAY
The European Union has responded to angry protests from farmers by adjusting its stance on net-zero emissions. As part of the bloc’s net-zero drive, the EU has revised its target for slashing agricultural emissions. Previously, there was a demand to reduce nitrogen, methane, and other emissions linked to farming by almost a third. However, this requirement has now been removed from a broader Brussels plan aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040.
In another concession to farmers, the EU has also shelved an anti-pesticides proposal after weeks of protests that disrupted major capitals and economic lifelines across the 27-nation bloc3. These developments highlight the delicate balance between environmental goals and the livelihoods of those working in agriculture. ??
Al hs it explained as ‘delicate balance..’
A delicate balance…
Well, thats Al for you…..
