 *Voted against the directive on restructuring the "Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity" (A5-0302/2003). The amendment aims at giving tax benefits to environmentally friendly sources of energy, which would make them cheaper and more competitive to conventional (more polluting) sources of energy. It also gives tax benefits to environmentally friendly uses of energy for transport, for instance trains.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#tax EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref> Rejected due to lack of absolute majority.

 Chichester resigned as Chairman of the Conservative Party in Brussels after breaking the rules on MEP’s expenses. While the scandal led to him being chided for a lack of judgment, he is now coming under increasing scrutiny for his links to commercial interests. As President of the [[EEF]], Chichester receives no money, but he heads an organisation labeled “the submarine of the energy industry,” whereby “discussions which start at the [[EEF]] usually end up at the Parliament”.<ref>Corporate Europe Observatory, "[http://www.corporateeurope.org/docs/NuclearPowerGrab.pdf Nuclear Power Grab?
