Firstly, agreed on all the previous points.
Is there a "Pro Vs. Anti" MEP table somewhere? No. FFII have a lot of this info but for tactical reasons they haven't publicised it anywhere. Most Irish MEPs have responded to various people but we were not organised during the initial lobbying rounds so Irish "Pro Vs. Anti" is not collected anywhere. I'd like to see a table drawn up. I believe Niall Douglas and Malcolm Tyrrell have gotten the most correspondence. Can someone offer to coordinate the coordination of this data?
Alex Macfie from FFII has collated this information AFAIK.
The beef. I want to work on another joint letter. The focus being on the text of the directive. *Exactly* what we don't like and *exactly* what would make us happy. We have to counter the FUD flying around the EP.
Seeing as I seem to be too radical in my arguments for anyone to understand me, I'd like to offer more help this time. Though you must not let me have too much of my way, because then no one would understand the letter again! :)
Can I just add that MEP Brian Crowley said that your letter had had an enormous effect right across the parties (he specifically singled it out). He suggested another one would be a good idea.
Cheers, Niall
