Dear supporter First of all a huge thanks on behalf of the EU VAT Action Team to all of you who participated in the Twitterstorm and have been contacting MPs, MEPs as well as the press on behalf of the campaign - the Twitterstorm was genuinely a huge success and has started to achieve the desired result. For a full rundown on the Twitterstorm stats, please see Lorraine's update on the EU VAT Action website here: http://euvataction.org/2014/12/17/twitter-euvat-action-a-storming-success/ We are genuinely being heard and action is being taken at the highest level within the EU - which would not have happened without all of us coming together in unison the way we did. It really is incredible what we have collectively managed to achieve in such a short space of time and we should all incredibly proud of that; but, now that we have a foot in the door we need to make sure we get the rest of the way in! We have Andrus Ansip's attention, but in order for that to translate into legislative change we need to keep up the pressure by gathering support from as many individual member states as possible - as this is how we will get the changes we need passed in the time-frame we all require in order to keep trading. The next step therefore is for us to recruit people to the campaign from every member state to lobby their representative on the EU Fiscal Attache who in turn needs to lobby Pierre Moscovici. For full details exactly what we need you to do next, please see Clare's update here: http://euvataction.org/2014/12/18/its-not-all-ears-its-action-too-in-the-european-commission-on-eu-vat/ As Clare says in her update - there are no promises yet, but there IS hope. We are making progress - so please continue to do everything you can! Thanks again from all of us. Issy & the EU VAT Action Team
