At a vote in the European Parliament today, a mainly conservative majority accepted the Commission’s unambitious list of antimicrobials reserved just for human use.

S&D - Socialists and Democrats

The Socialists and Democrats have been spearheading calls for including ambitious sustainable development chapters in all trade agreements for many years. Today’s Commission proposal incorporates many core S&D demands, and MEPs welcome it as it sets EU trade policy on a new, progressive path.

S&D - Socialists and Democrats

However, the already difficult path towards their achievement has been hindered even more due to the devastating consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic and the war against Ukraine. Now, even the small progresses that have been made are being reversed.
