Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 May 2006. It occurred during Parliamentary proceeding on Future EU Finances and Own Resources.
Future EU Finances and Own Resources
Statistically, the hon. Gentleman is absolutely right to say that the preponderance of our exports goes outside the European Union. In reflecting on the EU budget, would he agree that it is unsatisfactory that, in presenting their arguments about trade, Ministers consistently get it wrong—they must know that they are doing so—through the ancient and discredited practice of double counting that which goes through Rotterdam? It really is not good enough.
