COSLA CoR member and COSLA Vice-President Cllr Corrie McChord
and Scottish MEPs Catherine Stihler and Elspeth Attwooll secured
unanimous approval on a crucial amendment to the draft
Renewables Directive in their respective votes at the CoR and the
European Parliament Committees. This COSLA inspired proposal, if
finally approved by the full Plenaries and the Member States, will
ensure local authorities are fully involved in developing national
and European plans to develop renewable energies and thus
combating climate change. Other MEPs such as David Martin and
John Purvis also tabled and lobbied for our views in debates. Struan
Stevenson MEP actively liaised with COSLA on the complex issue
of windfarms on peatlands.
