EU Written Declaration on HGVs - PLEASE SUPPORT

UKIP aren't too interested:

Dear Mr Sparkes

Thank you for your email dated 13th November 2010, addressed to David
Campbell Bannerman MEP and Stuart Agnew MEP. I am replying on their behalf.

We were very sorry to hear of the death of your friend and will certainly
have a look at the wording of this particular declaration. However, there
are two things that I should point out:

Firstly, written declarations, even if they achieve the required number of
signatures, are not binding upon the European Commission. Most are ignored.
Unfortunately, this can be rather cynically used by the European Commission
as a means of diverting people with genuine concerns into what can
ultimately turn out to be a pointless paper chase.

Secondly, I ought to mention that the UKIP MEPs were elected on a platform
of withdrawal from the EU and, as such, have no mandate for encouraging the
EU to legislate.

In spite of the above reservations, we will give serious consideration to
signing the declaration, if we can do so without compromising our
principles.

Best wishes,

Stuart Gulleford
