Proceeding contribution from Iain Duncan Smith (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 December 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
Back in June, the French were in disarray, President Chirac had lost the referendum on the constitution and was in a weak position, and the Prime Minister looked strong. Today, we are paying £1 billion more, and President Chirac has won the rebate and denied CAP reform. Does the Prime Minister realise that Britain, and not only him, now looks weak and pathetic in the eyes of the European leaders?
