Want to import BRITAIN poisonous chemicals with scar stiry? Labor says: Go ahead | George Monbiot

IQ. What is the best right to the Tory Party that wants from Brexit: To disrupt the important public protections, including those who protect us from the most fierce forms of capital. Conservatives lost the office before they could be the worst. But don’t think so, because the labor has now taken the baton.

One month ago, quietly most of us miss it, the Government published a consultation of deregulates chemicals. While most consultations in 12 weeks, it was a running for eight, half covered during the holiday season – it ended 18 August. The goal is set at first: to reduce “business costs”. It is, as repeated statements By Keir Starmmer Explainmeans rent the rules.

If, the consultation proposed, a chemical approved by a “reliable foreign jurisdiction”, must be approved to use in the UK. No list provided what are trusted jurisdictions. Ministers will complete it: they can add such countries through law instruments, which means no full parliamentary examination. In a paragraph the document provides a certainty: These jurisdictions must have the “similar to the Great Britain” standards. Three paragraphs later, security was deprived: The government can do any available evaluation, which is considered to be reliable, from any foreign jurisdiction “.

Here and other respects, the consultation document is opaque, contradictory, no clear safes and straightforward repairs. Lobbyists will teach that a chemical product has been approved by US, or Thailand or Honduras, then ask the government to add the country to a trusted jurisdiction. If the government agrees, “Home evaluation” can be “removed”, which means no UK investigation and environmental effects are needed.

In the US, to give an example, a width on Dangerous Chemical Products THE approved for goods to be banned here and in many other countries. The government shot the gun in a race at the bottom.

To get things worse, once a country is added to the list of trusted jurisdictions, all BIOCID products it allows for use, “automatically approved” for use here. The proposed new rules, which is, look like awareness of Fantasy is pleased by ultra-highswing Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg in 2016: “We can say, if it’s good in India, so good for here … we can take it too long.”

In fact there is a way of reducing costs while maintaining high standards: simple mirror of EU rules. Although far from perfect, they put the highest standards in the world for chemical regulation. Its mirror as they change to avoid the useless folding of institutional and Total regulatory melting Our chemical system suffered since we left the EU. But we cannot have it, because it means Brexit backtrack, which is betrayal. The adoption of the vulnerable standards of other states of the largest foreign corporations, contrary, is the elevation of patriotism.

Difference from European Standards is likely to be defined Break down the terms In EU-UK trading and cooperation agreement, as well as landing in Northern Ireland in the most louder, as this stayed at both in the EU single market and the UK in the internal market. In many cases, deregulation gives riots in bureaucratic.

The consultation also suggests removal of all expiry dates for approval of active chemical substances. The default position is that, as long as a foreign jurisdiction is approved by a product, allowing it to be available in the UK, it remains in the books forever. Those who argue that new evidence should lead to deleting it from the approved list with a mountain to climb. It is worse, consultation suggests removing any health and safety obligation to maintain a public public database of harmful substances in the chemical market. Not surprised to silence them.

Yes, these suggestions may reduce costs for business. But the inevitable result is Move it in society. That, we faced a large contamination crisis as a result of regulation failure in this country, as compounds like PFA (“Chemicals forever”, Microplasts and bioocides Spread out of our lives. If decontamination of land and water is possible, it costs hundreds of times more than any profit-made profits as a result of lax rules. In fact, we Bring these costs In our bodies and our ecosystem, forever. The real price doesn’t count.

Many pay their lives, health, education or living for past “bonfires of red tape”: by disaster in green tower, dirty streams, Classrooms break,, Consumer RIP-off and the 2008 financial crisis in 2008. But as long as these costs can be transferred to corporate and current governmental balance sheets, considered to be a victory for business and winning for the treasury.

Last month, Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, told the financials In his talk at the Mansion House the regulation “acts as a boot in the neck of businesses”. In fact, business acts as a boot around the neck of democracy, a boot hillers with kisses.

Before the overall election last year, Reeves said A Communion of the Corporate CEOs: “I hope you read our manifesto, or see our priorities, you see your fingers all.” Desasthic reforms of government reforms today Compulsion through Parliament Accordingly, he told them, to a “smoked salmon and scrambled breakfast eggs” with corporate lobbyists.

It’s just an example of a big pre-election that hurts, involving Hundreds of meetings In spite of the closed corporations doors, which formed labor plans and explained most of what was lost. The point and purpose of the Labor Party is the resistance of economic warfare through the rich against others. Starmer and Reeves turn their party to the contrary.

The capital demands three things once: that the government has taken the rules that define public interest from fierce gain; which government regulated himself with crazy strict vows, such as Reeves fiscal rules;; and that the public is regulated with frequent draconian laws, such as Preventing protest. It gets what it asks. Everyone should give way to the capital, but the capital should give way.
