Proceeding contribution from Tony Blair (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 June 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

We have to decide what is in the interests of everybody in Europe. As I said, it is not that countries cannot decide to support their industries and communities. That is fine. The question is what should Europe be doing. The trouble is that the CAP in its current form is a big distortion of expenditure.
