Q: How does the CID fit in the broader EU competitiveness agenda? A: Putting industrial competitiveness first is at the core of the Letta & Draghi reports, + underpins the EU's Competitiveness Compass 🧭. 🫤 Regulation becomes a burden, not a protection, as the CID reflects. #DirtyIndustrialDeal
-
Q: How has the CID put industry in the driving seat? pt1 A: The CID states "Our proposals are directly tailored to [industry's] needs”. It has been designed with + for industry. But the proposals also create new channels for industry to influence policy and shape regulations. #DirtyIndustrialDeal
-
Q: How has the CID put industry in the driving seat? pt2 A: The CID contains proposals to side-step binding regulations in favour of voluntary self-regulation. This is worrying given industry's track record of lobbying against strong protections for workers and the environment. #DirtyIndustrialDeal
-
Q: Has the CID confused “public interest” with that of heavy industry? A: The CID wrongly assumes what is good for heavy industry is good for society, incl transferring public 💰 to big polluters. ⚠️ Given the high costs + potential negative impacts, it risks a major backlash. #DirtyIndustrialDeal
-
Q: Who's behind the CID? A: A joint effort between 🇪🇺 EU Commission + a well-organised 🏭 industry lobbying effort. 📜 The CID officially credits the industry-led #AntwerpDeclaration + the EU-led Clean Transition Dialogues. Both served as vehicles for big polluter interests. #DirtyIndustrialDeal
-
Q: Where does the CID come from? pt2 A: By arguing for "competitiveness", heavy industry successfully killed many environmental + social protections in the EGD 🥬, but secured ⬆️ political + financial 💰 support for the EGD's failed climate techno-fixes ⛔ like #CCS #hydrogen #DirtyIndustrialDeal
-
Q: Where does the CID come from? pt1 A: Industry lobbying began in 2022, wanting: ✅ more support for dirty industry ❎ fewer social and environmental regulations Industry justified it by a loss of competitiveness vs US 🇺🇸 & China 🇨🇳. But the public foots the bill 💰 #DirtyIndustrialDeal
-
Q: Is the so-called Clean Industrial Deal actually "clean"❓ A: No❗ ⛔ Deepens EU commitment to industry false solutions #hydrogen #CCUS ⛔ Ignores wider environmental problems like chemical pollution or deforestation ⛔ Instead of "Polluter Pays" principle, "Polluters GET Paid" #DirtyIndustrialDeal

How can #COP29 tackle the climate crisis when the oil & gas industry is in Baku striking deals to keep burning fossil fuels?
We need a firewall around UN & EU climate decision-making to protect it from lobbyists.
