Sunday URGENT! LAST MINUTE REMINDER IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO, WE ALL NEED TO EMAIL THE SOUTH EAST MEPs TODAY OR TOMORROW AT THE LATEST. If you did not know about this, sorry it is so late to put it on facebook, but every contact on this is valuable so if could you take a few minutes to do this we would be very grateful. Dear all, I know you all very busy, but please try to make time to do this, with reference to the final plenary vote on the European Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive. You may remember that the vote was supposed to take place last month but the European Parliament decided to postpone the vote to October. Therefore, we need to contact again our MEPs just like we did a month ago, with some very small adjustments as new developments have happened that we need to address. The vote will be on Wednesday 9th of October, at 11.30. We need to call MEPs to support the amendments 31, 54 and 79, but we also need to ask MEPs to reject new amendments (n° 112 and 115) tabled by pro-shale gas MEPs aiming at undermining the amendment 79. These new really bad amendments (which are taking out the reference to exploration and reintroducing the daily production threshold of 500.000m3 of gas) pushed me and Geert to make slight adjustments to the email action that we suggested last month. You will see that we extended the picture to explain why the reference to exploration and why no reference to a daily production threshold are really needed. Therefore you can find below links to a template letter, to a list of MEPs, and to pictures translated in 10 different languages. But as usual, you are free to translate and adapt the letter according to your needs, priorities and positions. What we really need is that: You contact your MEPs to share this message and the voting recommendations, You spread the word around you: The more messages MEPs will receive from concerned citizens and groups of mobilisation, the better. Therefore, here are links to: The template letter: https://foeeurope.org/media/3248 The list of Members of the European Parliament: https://foeeurope.org/media/3246 The picture in English, Czech, German, French, Dutch, Hungarian, Portuguese, Romanian, Swedish, and Spanish. As the letter is almost two-page long, we know by experience that MEPs who have to vote on issues they are not familiar with almost never read this kind of advocacy document. If the first thing they see is almost only a picture with 4 sentences giving clear and simple recommendations, we have much higher chance that they take it in consideration. This is the list of South East MEPs.
