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


European Council

The Prime Minister is surely right to say that there should be a period of reflection, but does he worry that too long a period of introspection in the European Union could lead to greater political and economic sclerosis? We must take swift action on many issues, because China and India are unlikely to hang around waiting for us to reform our economies, and security in the Maghreb must be significantly enhanced. How does the Prime Minister propose to get back on track over the next six months?
