#Europe : le grand retour de la #dérégulation #financière
La #Commission #européenne est prête à assouplir la régulation financière. Les leçons de la #crise de 2008 sont oubliées et les #règles de #protection sur le point d’être sabordées.
Did you enjoy the Great Recession? The #Trump push for #deregulation is setting us up for another financial crash. https://prospect.org/economy/2025-07-21-deregulation-swings-pendulum-toward-financial-crash/
The FTC’s decline is a symptom of a public policy designed primarily to protect asset prices.
They cannot stop a determined majority from working its will in rulemaking or enforcement, & Trump’s functionaries are definitely determined.Whatever policies are deemed to be damaging to capital markets will be softened, whether through special exemptions or the free hand to consol, as the #FTC has ensured.

Unbelievable. We all know a horrendous crash is inevitable in the new MAGA air traffic system yet we have no legal or political tools to stop it. This should be a global wake-up call.

This complaint resulted from our analysis about sheer corporate lobby firepower in EU, analysed by sector.
Big Tech, Energy, Banking and Chemicals dominated.
Their influencing efforts are succeeding, given Commission plans on #Deregulation and #competitiveness .

Rachel Reeves says she’ll "regulate for growth." But what does that mean for women, carers, and communities already stretched to breaking point?
Women carry the heaviest cost when finance goes wrong: austerity, job cuts, public service erosion.
Reeves’s Mansion House speech risks repeating history.
Scotland needs a wellbeing economy, not trickle-down Thatcherism in a new suit.
"How about we try the same ideas that got us into this mess? I am very smart"
Every Dirty Gift #Trump’s #BigBill Gives the #FossilFuel Industry
Trump’s “#BigBeautifulBill” has billions for oil and gas companies: tax breaks, deductions, and pay-to-play #environmental #deregulation
by Antonia Juhasz, July 10, 2025
"The new law compounds the already $17 billion in direct federal subsidies U.S. taxpayers pay to oil, gas, and coal companies every year. It cuts hundreds of billions of dollars in tax incentives for #RenewableEnergy, despite it being cheaper, healthier, more efficient, and more reliable than #FossilFuels. As a result, the law threatens nearly a million U.S. jobs and will result in higher electricity and transportation costs for people living in every state in the continental U.S.
"The power of the fossil fuel industry over Trump and the #RepublicanParty is on full display in their Big Beautiful Bill. Mike Sommers, president of the #AmericanPetroleumInstitute, the fossil fuel industry’s largest lobbying group, told CNBC, 'It includes almost all of our priorities.' "

L'Union Européenne veut assouplir la règlementation sur les produits toxiques
C'est une nouvelle tentative de dérégulation au niveau européen. Après les propositions de législation omnibus visant à « simplifier » les règles de durabilité pour les entreprises, ce sont désormais les réglementations sur les produits toxiques qui sont sur la sellette.

Forgetting what #democracy is for & all about
"Poland's post-communist economic record was remarkable.. But te full #socialcosts of tis #economic #transformation hv been underappreciated.. (w) radical #freemarket reforms, #inequality soared.. While #privatisation & #deregulation lifted GDP, te same processes also fractured te body politic.. #Wałęsa helped usher in #Poland's democratic era, but recently conceded: "We did one thing wrong. We forgot abt te #people"" #lessons

#Deregulation, and #UnionBusting do not appeal to me. I will not be voting for these #Democrats either. If we have #abundance then #billionaires can pay their taxes, and #corporations can adhere to #regulations
> #Democrat.s are embracing the #abundanceMovement, which promises to rein in Big #Government, Big #Labor and other #leftWing staples, saying they impede #housing, public transit and #greenenergy projects
Today, EDRi and 51 civil society organisations, academics, and experts have written to the European Commission to oppose any attempts to suspend or delay the #ArtificialIntelligence #AI Act.
These attempts, especially in light of the growing trend of #deregulation of #FundamentalRrights and environmental protection, could undermine accountability and hard-won rights for people, the planet, justice and democracy

All the secret "corporate science" found no risks somehow. When does rational humanity get science journals that don't publish/legitimize "corporate science"?

The EU deregulation wave: set to last for years, heavily influenced by corporate lobby groups, plenty of attacks on social rights, climate policies, environmental protection.
How does that work?
Knowing 5 terms will get you far

On #deregulation, #Chemicals industry has long list of files on target list:
CLP chemicals labelling
Cosmetics
REACH
PFAS
Export ban
Sustainable taxonomy...
1st Chemicals Omnibus looks set to deliver some of this, with part 2 due later in 2025
#Chemicals industry says it's struggling, but what about huge financial burden on public purse each year from its products?
Von der Leyen & @EUCommission use the #DMA as a poker chip against US Trump car tariffs thus tarnishing our #EU legislation
Allowing #Bigtech to influence our digital laws which shall ensure consumer + digital rights against commercial profits under the frame of #deregulation is undemocratic as it is against the interests of the people.
Call on your national governments that this is not acceptable
