Following on from the previous post about the vote for reform to the EU Common Fisheries Policy tomorrow, I emailed the seven MEP’s that were listed on Chris Davies (Lib Dem MEP) website as swinging voters:
Struan Stevenson (Con, sits in ECR European Parliament Group, UK)
Marek Grobarczyk (Law and Justice, sits in ECR, Poland)
Nigel Farage (UKIP, sits in EFD, UK)
Dolores Garcia-Hierro Caraballo (Socialist, sits in S&D, Spain)
Diane Dodds (DUP, non-attached, UK)
Werner Kuhn (Christian Democrats, sits in EPP, Germany)
Jaroslaw Walesa (Civic Platform, sits in EPP, Poland)
And the other three UK MEP’s who sit on the Fisheries Committee:
Ian Hudghton (SNP)
Julie Girling (Con)
George Lyon (Lib Dem)
So far the only one who has replied is Struan Stevenson and his assistant assured me that he will be voting for the reforms and that the vote can be followed tomorrow here on the European Parliaments website.
Fingers crossed that the common good prevails over commercial interests!

Hello Letizia, I’ve been trying to view the debate and the vote on the EU website this mornig but the video link didn’t work, so now I’m going to try to find the result of the vote and I’ll post it as soon as I can find it. BW. Finn
