Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 March 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

We are doing a great deal. In fairness to President Barroso, he does not need much encouragement, as the Commission have made it clear that the rising tide of protectionism is against EU policy and law, and not remotely in the interests of the European Union. We must try to ensure that there is greater political consensus to challenge the rising tide of protectionism, which masquerades as economic patriotism.
