EU to drop ban of hazardous chemicals after industry pressure
Exclusive: Leaked documents show that as little as 1% of products containing hazardous substances could be prohibited
How many politicians were bought off before the "pressure " funny how corporations are apparently more powerful than the governments of the EU.
Its not just the EU.
Oh as an American I know all to well how corrupt our government is and how corporations own them.
This was honestly one of the key things in my head that made the EU better than the US. That they protect their citizens and nature at least so far as to ban toxic chemicals. Neoliberal society really just drops the ball when things get tough.
