"Thousands continue to die in my East of England constituency from respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD and lung cancer, in the last year alone: more than 200 in Cambridgeshire, 300 in Suffolk, 400 in Norfolk, 500 in Hertfordshire, and 700 in Essex. Yet the British Conservative rapporteur voted against her own report at committee due to successful amendments which Labour MEPs submitted to raise the level of ambition in terms of the targets with which EU Member States have to comply.
Labour backs and the Conservatives oppose: binding EU emission targets for 2025, specific measures to protect vulnerable people, enhanced monitoring by the European Commission, and access to justice if governments fail to deliver. This would save an additional 140 000 life years each year across Europe. British Conservatives should explain why these lives are not worth saving. More than a third of the UK’s air pollution is blown over the Channel. It is yet another example where Conservatives are doing the wrong thing in Europe and would be doing the wrong thing if they took us out of Europe."@en1
