Proceeding contribution from Stuart Bell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 December 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

My right hon. Friend mentioned enlargement. She is aware that next year we will see the presidencies of Germany and of Portugal, followed by the presidency of France. Would it not be appropriate during their presidencies to seek a deeper integration of the present Union in relation to promotion of the Lisbon agenda and the services directive, so that we are in a better position to face the global challenges of India and China?
