Proceeding contribution from Angela Watkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 June 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

The Council of Europe, as distinct from the European Council, is a specialist forum that promotes human rights in its 46 member countries, including Russia and Turkey. Belarus is currently suspended, because of its human rights record. Does the Prime Minister share my concern that the proposed fundamental rights agency in the European Union will duplicate the work of the Council of Europe, and will, indeed, threaten its very existence?
