John Buckley asked me what Labour MEP's have done in Europe well here are just a couple of things that they have managed to achieve recently
1.Labour Euro-MP Arlene McCarthy today won the European Parliament's support for measures forcing banks to hold more capital to set against risky activities
Arlene McCarthy told the Parliament in Strasbourg: "Financial experts agree that a high-risk, short-term bonus culture, combined with a lack of capital, were at the heart of the global financial crisis in 2008.
2.New pan-EU rules have been endorsed by MEPs, it will become easier to buy wood in confidence that it has come from a legal source.
Linda McAvan MEP, Labour's European Parliament spokesperson on the environment, welcomed the result of the vote: "The fight against illegal deforestation took a big step forward today.
"Campaigners estimate that there is a black market in illegally sourced wood worth around two billion pounds across the EU each year."It is bad for communities, damaging to the environment and it robs developing countries of an important stream of income..
"We now have properly enforceable rules to ban the placing of illegally logged wood on the European market and to ensure that traders can show exactly where their wood has come from.
3.Labour's spokesperson in the European Parliament on health, has been campaigning for more honest food labelling since the Commission first proposed to change EU rules two years ago. She said:"This is about giving shoppers the right to make an informed choice about what they're buying, but it's clear that most food manufacturers don't want people to know what's really in their food.
"If we're serious about tackling obesity and heart disease, people need to know how much sugar, salt and fat is in the food they eat. But with products like ready meals and pre-packed sandwiches, the only real way of getting the facts is by checking the label - so there has to be a quick and easy way for people to interpret all that information."
My question is what have UKIP achieved?
