*[Enwl-eng] Terrible trade deal

[ENWL]

                        Chlorinated chicken and hormone-stuffed beef -- coming soon to a supermarket near you? 

                        The EU is getting ready to do a deal with Trump within weeks.

            Donald Trump is salivating to tell US voters he’s done a deal so American megafarms can sell hormone-stuffed beef and chlorinated chicken from Paris to Prague.

            Right now, these nasty products are banned in Europe.

            But Phil Hogan, the EU Trade Commissioner, could be prepared to offer Trump the chance to flood Europe with nightmare meats in order to strike a new trade agreement in the next few weeks.

            When the same threat happened with TTIP, the giant transatlantic trade deal, millions of us spoke out and scrapped the deal. We can do it again if we can show Phil Hogan a fast and overwhelming public outcry sparked by his comments.

            Can you chip in now for ads in Europe’s biggest political magazine, read by all decision-makers?

            Yes, I can chip in $1 to keep nightmare meats off our shelves. 

            This new trade agreement is coming up fast. The EU President just said it could be weeks away. Once these nightmare meats -- and potentially banned pesticides too -- are on European shelves, there will be no going back.

            Phil Hogan, the EU trade commissioner, knows that letting these foods into Europe is controversial.

            It looks like he’s testing the waters, seeing what Europeans will accept right now. Please help send the EU a strong warning that we won’t tolerate nightmare meats on our shelves.

            I can donate $1 because the food we eat matters. 

            It was because you and 3 million people like you spoke out that together we blocked TTIP, the predecessor to this deal.

            SumOfUs members have also helped win many of the higher EU food standards we want to safeguard now -- most recently including a ban on the brain-damaging pesticide chlorpyrifos, which is still legal in the US. It’ll all be lost if we let this deal go ahead.

            I can chip in $1 to defend our food from a Trump trade deal disaster.
