Outgoing European Commissioner for Environment, Ocean and Fisheries Virginijus Sinkevičius recently expressed his frustration over the changing stance on the EU’s deforestation law. The legislation, adopted two years ago and set to be implemented in January, aims to ban imports of products linked to forest loss. Despite facing opposition from some governments, trading partners, and conservative MEPs, the European Commission has maintained its original deadline.
The backlash against the deforestation law raises questions about the future of the EU’s Green Deal and whether conservative governments will continue to resist laws associated with its implementation. Sinkevičius will address these issues in an interview on Radio Schuman, where he will also discuss the upcoming Austrian parliamentary elections.
In addition to these topics, Radio Schuman will reveal Europe’s top tax havens, highlighting that different countries have varying levels of tax evasion opportunities. The show, hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume with journalist Eleonora Vasques and audio editing by Zacharia Vigneron, features music by Alexandre Jas. This episode promises to provide insight into pressing environmental and political issues facing the EU, as well as shedding light on the often overlooked topic of tax evasion in Europe. Tune in to Radio Schuman to stay informed on these important developments.
