<P><BIG>Hi,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>We’re so close.<STRONG> WeMove members convinced European leaders to
kick fossil fuel companies out of our COVID recovery funding.</STRONG> But now
powerful lobbyists are exploiting a loophole in our democracy to access the
money - and we don’t have long to stop them.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>In October, we had a huge win when European politicians voted to back a
green recovery at a crucial committee meeting. [1] But now their
<STRONG>lobbyists have convinced the decisive finance committee to adopt a
pro-fossil fuel plan as the official position of the Parliament. </STRONG>That’s
bad news because it could stop a full vote at parliament, giving just a handful
of MEPs the final say.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><STRONG>We have a plan </STRONG>to make sure the fossil fuel industry
doesn’t derail our democracy and get their hands on billions of Euros meant for
our COVID recovery. <STRONG>We’ll contact the leaders of four main groups of
MEPs via Facebook and Twitter, asking them to back a full session of Parliament
to vote against fossil fuels coming back into the recovery plan. </STRONG>Then
they’ll know: no matter how much pressure comes from lobbyists, people power is
stronger.</BIG></P>

<LI><BIG>Fossil fuel companies are powerful. But they shouldn’t be more
powerful than our democracy. If the decision on how we spend our recovery
money is moved to the next stage of negotiations without a full vote in the
European Parliament, it will be a bad day for democracy and a disastrous day
for our climate. Every MEP should get a chance to have their
say.</BIG><BR>
<LI><BIG>The recovery package is huge: 670 billion Euros. It’s no surprise
fossil fuel companies want a big share of the money. But their industry is
putting the climate - and the lives of hundreds of millions of Europeans in
the future - in grave danger. Every MEP should get a chance to say
no.</BIG><BR>
<LI><BIG>The European parliament said that all member states must become
climate neutral by 2050. But this won’t happen if the money from European
recovery plan goes into the pockets of the fossil fuel industries. Every MEP
should have a chance to vote on this.</BIG><BR>
<LI><BIG>Gas is just another dirty fossil fuel. New fossil gas infrastructure
would lock in emission increases for decades. Every MEP should have their say
on the recovery plan.</BIG><BR>
<LI><BIG>No parliament that has declared a climate emergency can afford to
bail out fossil fuel industries again, including gas. The compromise on the
recovery plan is just not enough. All MEP’s should vote on this.</BIG>
</LI></OL>
<P><BIG><STRONG>There is a process we can use to make sure the Parliament gets
to have their say. </STRONG>10% of MEPs have to object to the idea that the
committee's decision goes to negotiations without a full vote of the Parliament.
Then, once MEPs have permission to vote, <STRONG>we need a majority to reject
the plan to hand money to fossil fuels,</STRONG> making the climate crisis even
worse. Then MEPs will have a chance to come back to Parliament with a better
plan next time. [2]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Can you share a message - using Facebook or Twitter - to key MEPs,
telling them to <STRONG>act fast to ensure the plan gets a proper, democratic
process at the European Parliament?</STRONG></BIG></P>
