Proceeding contribution from Lord Clinton-Davis (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 December 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council: 15–16 December 2005.
European Council: 15–16 December 2005
My Lords, does my noble friend agree that this House has rarely heard a more ill-informed attack on a European Summit than has occurred today? While the common agricultural policy must be reformed, which is highly desirable, does she also agree that it was not possible to reform it at this meeting? Does she further agree that the Opposition have totally ignored the plight of the countries of eastern Europe which are new to the EU? They had to be given some hope of contributing resolutely to the success of the EU and that without that it would not be possible to agree. Does she not agree that the Prime Minister has given them some hope?
