Linda McAvan, UK Labour Party MEP, states that the international context is better than ever to tackle climate change. The occasion is for international leaders to reach an agreement, although EU is on the lead concerning this issue.

A new president in the upcoming American elections should do part of the job in finding a successor for the Kyoto protocol.

Linda agreed to share her concerns and the priorities for the PES manifesto2009 on Yourspace.

This week we gave the floor to Joël Cordier, member of the Parti Socialiste (PS) in Namur, Belgium, and of Artisans du Progrès, an initiative aiming at debating the manifesto for the next European elections.

Next week begins Yourspace BLOGFEST. During two weeks, from July 23 to June 6, several bloggers will post and comment simultaneously on different issues. To keep it short, two weeks of intense online activity!
