Proceeding contribution from Mike Gapes (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 June 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
I welcome the Prime Minister’s statement that this country will continue to champion enlargement, but will he assure me that the accession talks with Turkey will open at the end of the year and that those talks will not be blocked by opponents from other countries? Will he also reassure me that the EU will continue to be a beacon for democracy and good governance in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, otherwise we face a resurgence of nationalism in this continent?
