| Since
our resounding victory at the European election in June 1999 when we
doubled our MEPs, we have been Delivering for Britain . Conservative
MEPs have been playing their part:
At home
we have been out on the streets supporting party workers and our
colleagues at Westminster and in local authorities.
In Europe
we have been pushing for reform, working hard in the European Parliament
to promote and defend British interests.
And we have been
making a difference; the European Parliament has joint decision-making
powers with national governments in many areas of EU law. We have been
successful in scrutinising and amending draft EU legislation in many key
areas such as the single market, the environment and consumer
protection.
Our manifesto - "In
Europe, not run by Europe " - set out how Conservatives intended to use
the powers of the European Parliament to change the agenda in Europe .
This report to the Party and its members sets out, by subject area, how
the Conservative MEPs have been achieving results -- how we have been
Delivering for Britain .

In November, 2001, he was re-elected to continue in an
influential role. Members of the 233-strong European People's

the 35 British Conservative Members, again voted him into a key
role of vice-president of the EPP. He is the first British
Conservative Euro MP to be elected a working vice-president of
the EPP.
James Elles
greatly enjoys his job as Member of the European Parliament
taking up constituents' cases and campaigning on their behalf to
represent firmly their views as the European Union consolidates
the Single European Market. He looks forward to continuing to
take care of their interests in Europe for the foreseeable
future |
