It is striking that the document negotiated by the three political groups does not only have no new elements for the political agenda, but utterly fails to draw a red line on cooperation with the far-right.

Amid a dramatic breakdown of the electronic voting system which brings the vote into question, Members of the European Parliament voted on the Commission proposal to delay the Deforestation regulation. It’s deeply concerning that the EPP amendments were adopted as they eviscerate the EU’s deforestation regulation.

EPP Group pandering to far-right jeopardises new Commission
