Proceeding contribution from Tony Blair (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 December 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

And we have delivered an EU budget deal that is €160 billion cheaper than the original Commission proposals, provides for a huge transfer of spending from the original 15 to the new member states of eastern Europe, and preserves the British rebate in full on the CAP and all spending in the EU 15. I commend all this to the House.
