<P><BIG>Hi,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>After years of mobilisation, lawsuits against their government,
thousands of people in the streets:<B> our friends in the Netherlands have won.
Their government heard their voices and decided to phase out coal.</B> It is a
message of hope for all of us who aspire to live in a world where we protect
what is most precious: our planet.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>But a <B>German fossil fuel giant and coal plant owner is using a
little-known treaty to sue the Netherlands and claim about 1.4 billion euros in
compensation.</B> [1]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>And no EU country is safe from such an attack. This treaty - The
Energy Charter Treaty, allows fossil fuel giants to sue any of our governments
</B>for changing their energy policies even if it means that our planet and
future generations will suffer. </BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>Next week EU countries will start key talks</B> on the future of this
dangerous treaty. Although countries like Germany are dragging their feet, a
growing number of powerful countries such as <B>France and Spain are already
calling on the EU to pull out.</B> [2] </BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>We need other EU countries to join the revolt.</B> To do this we have
partnered with dozens of organisations across Europe and journalists who will
reveal shocking stories to build the media pressure. Join the people power wave
to stop this treaty! </BIG></P>

<P><BIG>The Energy Charter Treaty is a blast from the past, from a period of
governments' climate denial. [3] Yet, <B>fossil fuel companies are clinging to
it for dear life because it means they can protect their profits.</B></BIG></P>
<P><BIG>But protecting their profits means suing governments who dare put people
and planet first. And when they win, governments have to pay compensation: our
hard-earned taxes.<B> It’s already cost Spanish citizens almost 1 billion
euros.</B> [3]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>Now the rage and resistance against this treaty </B>is growing
everywhere in Europe. France, Spain, and several MEPs from across the political
spectrum are calling Europe to pull out of the treaty. Other powerful countries
like Austria, the Netherlands, and Belgium are moving in our direction. [4]
</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>What we need now is a movement, people taking action across Europe.
<B>Next week is key, but just the start. Let’s start with a bang.</B></BIG></P>

<P><BIG>This is not the first time that we Europeans will come together to fight
the power of big corporations. <B>A few years ago, we beat the biggest
investment and trade treaty between the US and Europe - the famous
TTIP. </B>It took a lot of effort: 3.5 million signatures, and hundreds of
thousands of people in the streets. But we took on the corporations, the
lobbyists, 28 governments and <B>WE WON.</B></BIG></P>
