“I think Mr Rowland stands corrected”

I have never seen such a flop of a blue card in the EP. Poor @RowlandBrexitSE, that one hurt.

ConfPresse #Nutriscore au parlement européen @HercbergS : 40 études scientifiques ont montré un impact et des bénéfices pour la santé des consommateurs supérieurs avec ce système d’étiquetage simplifié

[The Consumer Voice @beuc]

Nutrition: "It's easy to compare between a broccoli and a pizza. But how about a BBQ pizza and a tuna pizza? Nutriscore can help here!" says @HercbergS, the professor behind the #Nutriscore. Help us make it mandatory in Europe: https://t.co/vz3C3c6MJz #pronutriscore

[Camille Perrin @Perrin_Cam]

Press conference on the #ProNutriscore https://t.co/uwt2r6hYAa European Citizens Initiative is kicking off! MEPs from various countries support #Nutriscore and consumer groups’ call to make it mandatory in the #EU! @Food_EU @kyriakidestella

[Friends of the Earth Europe🌍 @foeeurope]

Disturbing investigation linking oligarchs and EU funds for farming. We need urgent action to ensure better transparency and that tax payers money goes to sustainable small farms that really need it. #FutureofCAP

[Greens/EFA in the EU Parliament 🌍 @GreensEFA]

Today we joined hundreds of farmers, consumers and activists in #Strasbourg​ to demand a more sustainable food & agriculture policy for Europe! We hope that MEPs, new European Commission & Commissioner designate @jwojc listen to those demands!

#GoodFoodGoodFarming #FutureofCAP

[Grace O'Sullivan @GraceOSllvn]

It’s been a #farming and #food day so far this morning at the European Parliament in Strasbourg - meetings with NGOs about the upcoming #CAPReform, attending the #GoodFoodGoodfarming demo of farmers and activists in front of the parliament after,now considering impacts of #Brexit

[Greens/EFA in the EU Parliament 🌍 @GreensEFA]

Success!! 🐝

#EPlenary vetoed a weak Commission plan that would modify the way #pesticides are assessed & would harm bees. #Bees suffer from pesticide use, with big consequences for our ecosystems & food supplies. It's time for the EU to act & #savethebees! #beeguidance

[Slow Food Europe @SlowFoodEurope]

With the ​#CAPreform entering end-game negotiations, we show that the EU’s food & farming policies are not a fringe issue. They matter to many & affect millions. At the biggest ​#GoodFoodGoodFarming demonstration we march on the streets of Strasbourg to the @Europarl_EN​.

[FoodPolicyRevolution @FoodRevEU]

.@GFGFActionDays NGO coalition in front of the European Parliament today in #Strasbourg came all the way from all around Europe shouting out loud: "We expect a different #Food and #farming policy and we expect it now! "#futureofcap @GreensEFA

[Greens/EFA in the EU Parliament 🌍 @GreensEFA]

Great news! New Parliament supports our led opposition to #GMOs in food and feed.

We'll continue to object until GMO risk assessment can categorically exclude risks to human health. Unlike @V_Andriukaitis, we need new Commissioner to listen.

[Compassion in World Farming UK @ciwf]

Over 1.6 million people have taken action for farm animals suffering in cages. Now we’re in Brussels to make sure the European Commission get the message loud and clear - it's time to #EndTheCageAge!

[FoodPolicyRevolution @FoodRevEU]

.@jwojc: covering the #CAP w/ Green New Deal will lead to a more coherent EU agri-food policy & existing voluntary ecoschemes linking agri and envi objectives already help for this.

But, so far ecoschemes not sufficient guarantee to reach this goal. #EPhearings2019 @GreensEFA

[FoodPolicyRevolution @FoodRevEU]

.@jwojc I am ready to fight against other members of the European Commission who will be against more support and money for #farmers #EPhearings2019 @GreensEFA

[FoodPolicyRevolution @FoodRevEU]

.@GreensEFA MEPs @MetzTilly @CarolineRooseEU @Dr_KlausBuchner @alexforeurope @catherinerowett @DavidCormand will join the #EndTheCageAge event today to celebrate the success of the petition and call for a proper implementation of this #ECI by the European Commission.

[Philip Lymbery @philip_ciwf]

In Brussels today to ensure the European Commission takes on board our vital message. #EndTheCageAge
Over 1.5 Million people have signed our petition!
We now need action to ban the caging of sentient animals once and for all. Pls RT, thank you @ciwf
