We created #DeregulationWatch to track the wave of deregulation in the EU, which is driven by corporate lobbies and targets climate, workers' rights and public protections.
This serves corporate power, not people.

Following the preview on last week’s #DeregulationWatch update, I can report that the ‘reality check’ workshop on “simplifying” chemicals labelling (CLP rules) was as bad as feared.

Trade unions reject the Commission’s “28th regime” plans, fearing social dumping

Commission plans to offer companies a lighter set of parallel EU rules instead of national ones could undermine workers' rights ⚠️

This cartoon shows two cliffs opposite each other with a long green tape (labelled regulation) suspended between them. On the tape are people and animals looking scared and hanging on tight, while a big pair of scissors looms above, about to cut the green tape. Below the image it says “Regulation protects the things we care about – we need to keep it that way”. Cartoon by @CartoonRalph

#DeregulationWatch exposes new developments in the #deregulation agenda.

We keep Deregulation Watch regularly updated, as a useful tool for journalists & for groups concerned with rolling back of environmental & social protection ambitions + rules.

This cartoon is entitled Chemical regulations. There are 3 people looking at a large white board which is entitled Chemicals regulations. On the board is a table with 2 columns: one says “costs” and just has “a bit more work for industry” listed. The other column is called “benefits” and it includes items such as “more wildlife” and “healthier people” and “cleaner water”. A 4th person, in a suit, is saying: “We can see from the industry analysis, the costs far outweigh the benefits”. Cartoon by @CartoonRalph

Corporate lobbyists and far-right forces are framing regulation as an obstacle to business. But loosening rules doesn’t eliminate risks—it shifts them onto society, doubles the cost of implementation, and creates regulatory uncertainty. #DeregulationWatch
