Will UK scupper EU tar sands ban vote next week?

After being delayed for over 2 months, the EU is set to vote on the Fuel Quality Directive, legislation that would effectively ban tar sands from European import. The vote is scheduled to take place on 23 February.

Under intense lobbying from the Canadian Government, keen to create new markets for its dirty oil and stop the EU from setting a precedent for the rest of the world to follow, the UK Government is refusing to support the European Commission’s proposal, and actively encouraging other states to oppose it.

Take action now and let the UK government know how you feel…
