WE NEED EUROPE ON OUR SIDE ~ TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

The message is loud & clear to your local MP, ANYONE and EVERYONE who might make a difference ~ ACT NOW

Before anything else, I want to thank everyone for their kind support of our “TIME . . . .” campaign. The postcards were duly collected, filled in and despatched to Westminster. MPs complained that they were unable to escape their daily postbag. You did that ~ you caused quite a stir and helped focus minds on how serious the Food Supplements Directive is.

I need you to please act again. No postcards this time I’m afraid, but please, please find time to write a letter to the Commissioner ~ Mr Dalli. Click here for more details

I really do understand that not everyone feels confident to write such letters, even short ones when we have provided examples. But I have prepared a suggested letter for you that is easy to copy and/or personalise.

All our MPs have gone ‘walk-about’ and we cannot just sit back and wait until after the election before taking further action. The wheels of Brussels continue to turn – even if the wheels of Westminster have come to a virtual halt. Mr Dalli is quite new in his post and we have no idea at the moment if he is sympathetic to the British appeals to keep our supplements available – or not. But we cannot wait to find out!

Time is of the essence. I’m sure you know me well enough by now to know that I would not ask unless it was crucially important – or if I felt we could manage without your support. It IS important and we DO need your support.

You already know that this may be the last role of the dice for vitamin & mineral supplement users and members of the public who care about freedom of choice. It is essential that Commissioner Dalli knows that too. We all need his commitment to deliver what has previously been promised – namely to keep our safe and effective supplements available for all – and at beneficial levels.

Please don’t think for a moment that all this is a waste of time. It isn’t. We must leave Mr Dalli in no doubt of the strength of feeling across Britain and that we are relying on him to find a way to keep our supplements available. We have people across several other EU countries doing exactly the same – they want to enjoy the benefits of supplementation that British people have welcomes for decades. They want dose levels in their countries elevated to the levels that we British know are safe and beneficial. What they don’t want is for the whole EU market to dumb down to low and meaningless levels.

Let’s help each other.

Setting dose levels for vitamins and minerals is now top of the Brussels agenda. “Time is Running Out” so, send a strong message to Mr Dalli – and do it now!
