MEP profiles: part 1.

by franklittle on 31 May, 2009

It has been remarked that our official European Election Communication for the South Wales West region is too negative and parochial. Therefore, in these last few days before the election next Thursday, I shall post a brief description of what our existing MEPs have done and hopefully will be re-elected to continue to do. Their work would be reinforced by the election of one or two Liberal Democrats from Wales.

Tackling Discrimination

Liz Lynne (West Midlands) has worked to secure new measures to outlaw discrimination in areas from existing law. Liz has worked on employment legislation. As Agriculture spokesperson, Liz is active in helping the farming community, most recently over sheep tagging.

Stopping Torture and Rendition

Sarah Ludford (London) is spokeswoman on justice and human rights. She instigated and served as vice-chair of the European Parliament’s inquiry into EU governments’ complicity in CIA “rendition” and torture. She strongly backs European co-operation to tackle crime, terrorism and illegal immigration.
