Proceeding contribution from Tony Blair (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 June 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
We discuss that regularly with our European partners, but it is important that we do not allow discussion of professional qualifications to become a way of protecting vested interests and keeping out people who come here and often perform a great service for our country. I do not oppose some harmonisation where that is sensible, but the point was made in relation to the services directive that we have to be careful not to ““level up”” in a way that keeps out people who would do a good job.
