Andrew St. Ledger and Brendan Kelly have been asked by Kathy Synnott MEP to go to Brussels with environmental and social issues. They are travelling on Sunday the 20th of November. Prior to this, the WLL would like to meet with supporters and interested parties to discuss several issues that they intend to raise in Brussels, including:
· Sustainable Forest Management/FSC in Ireland, the lack thereof, and the use of the State in using FSC to verify SFM commitments
· Lack of proper consultation in developments, both in forestry and on a wider basis
· Lack of proper independent Environmental Impact Assessments in developments
· The inadequacy of the Forest Service in enforcing national and international laws on forestry and the environment
· Specific case studies – including for, example, Rossport, Lough Key, Derrybrien
· Etc. etc.

The date and time of the meeting will be Saturday the 12th November 2005 (Saturday week) at 12 noon.

The venue is to be decided, though it will be in the East Galway/Clare region. We aim to make it as central to a large town as possible, to facilitate transport.

More information on the venue will follow.

The meeting is open to all who wish to attend.

Apologies for the short notice for the meeting.
