Future EU Finances and Own Resources

We need to be blunt and clear with the British electorate about such matters In particular, we must adopt a policy, as I have said on a number of occasions—too often to repeat—of an association of nation states. We must get away from the failed policy of European integration. It is not enough to say in the House or elsewhere that we do not like what we see. The only way to deal with the treaties, which some allege wrongly are set in concrete, is to take the appropriate steps to repatriate powers, by unilateral decision of this House, where negotiations fail and it is in our national interest, and to ensure that the judiciary abide by the legislation that we pass, which would be inconsistent with the European Union’s. That also applies to the provisions under discussion.
