Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Accessions) Bill.


European Union (Accessions) Bill

My right hon. Friend was talking a few moments ago about privatisation in Romania and Bulgaria. Is privatisation being made a requirement for those countries before they enter the EU or are they just being encouraged to privatise where appropriate? Given that many of the larger industries in western Europe are still under public ownership and do very well in the public sector, are we to press those two countries to privatise beyond what is expected here?
