Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Wayne David (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 29 November 2005 on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
European Constitution
- Question
- Does the Minister agree that, rather than concentrate on what people might view as abstract issues of constitutional detail, there should be an emphasis on bringing home to the British people the benefits of EU membership?
- Answer
-
I certainly agree that people in both France and the Netherlands were voting on the text, and we need to respect the judgment that they reached. The broader context of how Europe can meet the challenges of globalisation explains the broader conversation in which European leaders engaged when they met at Hampton Court in October.
