We call on European Member States to put an end to fossil fuel subsidies in the EU. Burning fossil fuels is the first cause of global warming. Despite knowing this for decades, Member States are still heavily financing and promoting the use of fossil fuels of some highly polluting sectors such as aviation, maritime transport and fishing through tax exemptions. While you pay taxes on your fuel, these sectors are completely exempted from any taxation. This is a gift for big polluters that we cannot afford. We need public money to stop funding the destruction of the climate.

Tuna is among the fish most heavily contaminated with mercury. Yet, current mercury standards essentially act as licences to pollute, prioritising tuna sales over public health. Call on supermarkets to take urgent action to safeguard our health and put an end to this public health scandal.

We call on you to put an end to the bulldozing of the ocean. To impose the transition away from industrial fishing and the end of harmful subsidies that drive the destruction of the ocean. To make sure we have truly protected marine areas. To prohibit EU-based companies from participating in fossil fuel expansion in Europe and globally. To adopt a moratorium on deep-sea mining. To impose a ban on all kinds of pollutants that are known to ravage ecosystems and penetrate the very tissue of life.

Forced labour, physical and verbal violence, deprivation of freedom, destructive fishing methods, the slaughter of marine animals, sharks, rays, turtles and coral reefs: this is what hides behind the canned tuna sold in supermarkets.

Did you know that, in Europe, the largest fishing vessels, which represent 1% of the fleet, catch half of the fish? These factory-vessels can measure up to 144 meters in length and catch 400,000 kilos of fish per day! This is as much as 1,000 small-scale fishing vessels in one day at sea.

TotalEnergies launches a new climate bomb. The irresponsible French oil major wants to exploit two huge gas fields in South Africa in spectacularly rich marine areas, which provide critical protection, food and home to thousands of whales, dolphins, birds and turtles. A guaranteed carnage for biodiversity and the climate.

Did you know that the worst fishing methods are allowed in European marine protected areas ? Sign for truly protected « marine protected areas »
