European Parliament Elections 4-7 June 2009

In a downturn, it's more important than ever to have a say in decisions made by the EU.

Decisions that pass through the European parliament can directly affect your company or organisation:

• rules for tighter supervision of banking and other financial institutions
• aid for the EU's poorest regions
• support for small businesses
• investment in lifelong learning to prepare workers for the modern economy
• simplification of EU regulations and standards
• carbon-reduction targets
• consumer rights.
  
  Make your voice heard on these and other issues relevant to your business - or simply to you as an individual. Take a look at some 60 reasons to vote.

  Make your vote count - it's your right. And pass the message on.
  
  Thank you.
