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


European Council

Given that in the 21 years since the rebate was first negotiated in 1984, we have yet to see any fundamental reform of the common agricultural policy, does the Prime Minister think that this weekend’s deal brings forward the prospect of serious CAP reform? What tangible steps does he believe that the Government and hon. Members can take between now and 2008 to make the prospect of real reform more likely?
