In the wake of the EU’s Court of Auditors calling for greater EU action on food waste, can we count on you to vote for action? On the Environment Committee meeting on 24th January, we are asking for you and other EPP MEPs to vote in favour of amendments 255 or 256, 504/506, 539 or 540, 889/890 and 944. martin@thisisrubbish.org.uk has sent more detail, and will contact you with the relevant compromise amendments when they are available. We hope that we can count on you and the EPP to take this bold action to cut EU food waste. ***
