What do nations and the EU do when unrestricted use of pesticides contaminate water sources such that a french multinational can't sell natural mineral water anymore? They change the rules and the multinational gets away with having defrauded millions of its customers for years....

What do nations and the EU do when unrestricted use of pesticides have such an impact on bees that they produce honey with contents of neurodegenerative neonicotinoïdes far above the minimum acceptable level? They change the rules and honey is now allowed to have a factor 20x more poison than before

The competitiveness matra seems to be used as a cover for everything - from pumping out more air pollutants, allowing PFAS and sewage to pollute our water supplies, and scrapping our public holidays. Next it'll be used to justify dismantling women's rights.

Capitalism, Money and GREED. The never ending need to increase profits and to consolidate the increasing profits within a select and illite circle of UBER RICH. We are watching the end days of Capitalism, we are living in the time of the collapse of Capitalism. Its going to be painful 4 many IMO

It's like a plague that's spreading around the world. Industry is winning out over humanities safety. Ridiculous, they should instead enforce industry pollution and reward anti-pollution innovations.

It'd be better if industries came up with solutions for minimizing water usage & cleaning/recycling large parts of it.

Putting industry ahead of the current #ClimateEmergency is just stupid. Tell them to look out their windows to see the devastation unfolding around the planet.

The good things Germany/Europe tried to achieve took too long. That's the red tape. It needs to be sped up. The Industry simply getting what they want is NOT the getting rid of Red Tape people were asking for?!

Red tape??? Give me a break! Undermining humankind’s livelihood by giving in to lobbyists making profit from polluting our water is hardly an achievement! It’s called corruption!
