EPP have left the negotiations.

What a shameful display: the biggest group in the European Parliament is playing power games against their own Commission President and the Green Deal.

EPP has lost its moral compass.

New study out showing conflicts of interest ; producers kept information that could have protected human health (but impacted their $$$).

An extra reminder to pay attention to COIs in negotiations.

I’ve seen a document which shows that, as of about midnight, governments had essentially agreed to disagree on voting rules. Looks like they will kick that can down the road to a future date. But they’ll have to agree at some point.

One key sentence from yesterday's debate on voting rules on was by the Senegalese 🇸🇳 delegate: 'Consensus is what kills democracy. It's different from unanimity, which is when everyone agrees. With consensus, if one or two countries don't agree, we're stuck.'

“The procedural issues left unresolved in Uruguay [...] provide aspiring spoilers with several opportunities to stall and delay progress in the negotiations”, we wrote yesterday.

For once, not happy to have been right!
