Alternattiva Demokratika chairman and MEP candidate Arnold Cassola yesterday presented the Greens' internet-based vote tracker, which shows how MEPs and political groups voted on important issues.

He said the vote tracker showed that PN MEPs in particular wanted to exclude major polluting industries from pollution limits, supported weaker rules to regulate hazardous chemicals, and opposed making lobbyists' unethical.

AD's other MEP candidate Yvonne Ebejer Arqueros yesterday hit out at the EPP-ED group in the European Parliament - which PN MEPs belong to - for recently postponing a vote on a report relating to the extension of maternity and paternity leave.

She said: "An increase in the maternity leave period together with measures to help small and medium enterprises will encourage women to take up employment."
