<P class=MsoNormal>Dear colleague,</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I hope you don’t mind me writing to you. Apologies if we
haven’t been in touch before, I’ve been given your email by Laurence Duprat, who
I’m covering on maternity leave. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I would be very grateful if your organisation would consider
signing the letter to the EU Trilogue below. Furthermore, if you would please
share it with your international partners (especially those in the Global South)
we would be very grateful. We believe the message would be considerably
strengthened by as many sign ons as possible. There are versions of the letter
in several languages below. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Many apologies for any cross-posting. The original email from
the coalition of NGOs in Brussels is found below. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Please let me know if you have any questions !</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Charlie</P>
