Proceeding contribution from Wayne David (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

It is important to acknowledge that reforms are under way in the EU. Reforms introduced by the Government both before and during their presidency have struck a chord with many EU states, particularly central European countries that have recently joined. There is an increasing acceptance that what we want is not a highly integrated centralised state but a loose association of sovereign countries that pool their interests from time to time.
