Open letter: pro-regulation declaration

The EEB and co-signees of this open letter reject the corporate-led deregulation agenda that is taking place in the EU. Europe’s industrial and economic strategy must strengthen — not sacrifice — environmental integrity, social justice, human rights and democratic accountability. Strong standards are not a burden — they are the foundation of Europe’s long-term economic resilience. Public money and political power must serve society as a whole, not entrench the influence and profits of the industries most responsible for the crises we face.
