The EU's REACH proposal for improved regulation of chemicals has sparked the largest ever industry lobbying campaign in Europe. The chemical industry council CEFIC took the lead, with German giant BASF in a key role, and with active backing from US chemical corporations and the Bush administration. Scare mongering, flawed impact studies and delay tactics are part of this aggressive counter-campaign that has seriously weakened REACH. More than ever, it is time for citizens to stand up against industry attempts to undermine progressive environment and health legislation.

At the European Social Forum in Florence in November 2002 a debate emerged within the alter-globalisation movement over whether building opposition to Bush’s global war was a diversion from opposing corporate globalisation. The debate - in terms of developing a strategy for the movement - is centred on identifying the key issue or challenge that the movement should focus on. This is an essential task if the movements are to win and not just oppose or resist. ... read full story / add a comment

"In eunte Verae" (if I remember correctly from my schooldays) is a Latin tag which means "With the coming of Spring." The weather has been kind and growth is in the air. But what I hunger for is political growth.

Just watched a very interesting video from 'Anarchists Against the Wall' an Israeli group that pulls down/breaks open the apatheid barrier being built with the help of CRH amongst others. It covers the events of 26 Dec 2003 when one of their memebrs was shot in both legs by the IDF but more interesting the media reaction that followed and why this first shooting of an Israeli from a Jewish background by the IDF provoked such a storm. Very interesting in light of the reaction here to plans to pull down the fence at Shannon earlier in the same year. ... read full story / add a comment |
