EIA plenary vote 9th Oct 2013
The European Parliament plenary vote on the review of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive will take place next Wednesday, October 9. You can find more details about the vote and a link to an updated template letter to send to your MEP below. These are the final voting recommendations.
The most important amendment we need support for is AM 79, which guarantees mandatory EIAs at exploration stage.
Many thanks to everyone who has been lobbying their MEPs for this important vote since mid-August! If we don’t get a majority supporting mandatory EIAs, it will be a major victory for the fracking industry, so please keep the pressure on!
