Dear MEP

I am deeply concerned that European trade policies are exacerbating poverty and exploitation across the world. I would like to see a major change in the EU’s approach to international trade, so that it puts the needs and rights of poor people before commercial advantage for European companies. The European Parliament has an important role in making this change happen. As my MEP, I call on you to help bring about a full-scale rethink of the EU’s trade policy and to ensure that it prioritises development, environmental sustainability and human rights in the world’s poorest countries. Please sign the pledge below to show your commitment to take action. I pledge to undertake some or all of the following activities: • Write to the Trade Commissioner Baroness Ashton, and to the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, urging them to commit to a rethink before the end of 2009. • Demand a cross-committee investigation in the European Parliament of the development, environment and human rights impacts of EU trade policies in developing countries. • Sign a resolution in the European Parliament in support of a rethink of the EU’s trade strategy and policies. • Actively participate in scrutiny of the new European Commission and its trade and development strategies. • Write to the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso and to the Commissioner of Administrative Affairs, Audit and Anti-Fraud, Siim Kallas, to call for a mandatory register of lobbyists. Please sign the pledge by sending an email to meplobby@tjm.org.uk. Sincerely
