Policies and Issues

Sharon in ParliamentBecause Sharon is Chair of one of the European Parliament's most powerful committees, we receive an extremely high volume of correspondence.

We regret that due to this volume, emails, letters and postcards that ask for Sharon's position on a particular vote or policy will no longer receive a reply.

Instead we are creating this webpage, because we understand that constituents should still be able to see the position that their MEP is taking on a particular issue.

Information will be posted to this page from time to time as issues arise. If there is an issue that you would like to see included on this page that is not already listed, please email [email protected]

Current issues - either recently completed, or being debated in Parliament in the next year

Amendments to the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive

The Capital Requirements Directive (Part IV)

Revision of the Tobacco Products Directive (2001/37/EC)

Reform of EU Data Protection Rules

Ongoing issues

The financial crisis and global recession
