What to tell your MEPs?
Calling an MEP may seem difficult. You may be nervous. Follow these suggested talking points to help you. And don’t forget: they represent us, it’s their job to listen.
- Say your name, where you live and a bit about yourself.
- Say you are calling about the vote for the approval of the European Commission.
- Tell them that you are concerned about the current climate crisis, and that you know how important it is to have strong leadership in Europe on this issue. Ask them to get all candidates and the commission president to implement 3 solutions to reduce all greenhouse gas emissions by at least 65% by 2030, as compared to 1990;
- Adopt a measure called "the climate-finance-employment pact" which could provide at least 400 billion € per year for ecological transition in Europe.
- Not one penny more for fossil fuels: stop all fossil fuel investments and subsidies.
-
End the aviation fuel tax exemption:
cut aviation CO2 emissions and bring in 27 billion € per year for climate action
- Don’t forget to thanks, and if you are talking to an assistant, ask them to pass on your message to your MEP. It’s always important to leave a message, even if you don’t reach your MEP personally.
