This parliament truly defends its citizens, not the interests of lobbyists and corporations. This is a fundamental message sent to the European institutions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Europeans cannot accept a trade and investment deal that threatens our health and environmental standards. While the Paris agreement is about to be implemented, treaties such as CETA and TTIP sneak dangerously in the opposite direction. Today, the environment and the protection of our planet must be at the heart of each international treaty, not just big business\u2019 profits. It is now up to the European institutions to listen to this signal and bury these dangerous treaties.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact<\/strong>:\u00a0<strong>Greenpeace EU press desk<\/strong>: +32 (0)2 274 1911,\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:pressdesk.eu@greenpeace.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pressdesk.eu@greenpeace.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For breaking news and comment on EU affairs:<a class=\"zoom\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/GreenpeaceEU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0<strong>www.twitter.com\/GreenpeaceEU<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Greenpeace is an independent global campaigning organisation that acts to change attitudes and behaviour, to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace.
