WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE

As your Euro MP, I aim to be an effective voice for the East of England in Brussels. But beyond that there are improvements I want to see - to the every day lives of working people, for those who are disadvantaged or discriminated against in any way, for people around the world who face a daily struggle just to stay alive. They are things I know you care about too. I use my position, at every opportunity, to achieve change for them, on your behalf.

 My priorities are:

o Bringing regional aid to help with the regeneration of our towns and countryside - working for more success now that European regional aid has been reviewed.
o Ensuring that big businesses act in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
o Using EU powers to fight discrimination and promote equality in all fields, and to give working people rights which directly benefit their lives.
o Arguing for a fair deal for developing countries - particularly through the promotion of ethical trade.
o Standing up to defend human rights around the world, and pushing for increased European action.
o Making sure that we play a full part in the future of the European Union, including full support for enlargement to the Balkans and Turkey.

I am very proud and grateful for the opportunity to serve as your MEP. I hope you will take the opportunity to look around my website and, of course, email me with any questions and comments.

Best wishes, Richard.
