		<description><![CDATA[Image via Wikipedia Votewatch.eu sent this out to all its users today. Its a good idea and may be a reason in itself to sign up to the website! Important votes were taken during the recent EP&#8217;s plenary session, such as the resolutions on the upcoming Summit on Climate Change, the Stockholm programme in the area of justice and home affairs, &#8220;origin labelling&#8220;, the smoke-free environments, the European Police Office (Europol) and European Crime Prevention Network (EUCPN). The progress towards accession of candidate countries was scrutinized and a resolution was voted on this subject. The European Parliament also approved in the third reading the EU telecoms rules, aimed to strengthen the rights of phone users and internet surfers and boost competition among telecoms firms. Lots of information on how your MEP is voting!]]></description>
