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


European Council

My hon. Friend, who I know has long taken a great interest in these matters, makes an interesting point. With regard to the Lisbon agenda, progress is certainly being made. It is the intention that all the countries of the European Union will work more closely together and seek areas where we can co-operate, and at the same time look for areas where we can be genuinely effective and genuinely add value, as opposed to merely duplicating what is happening elsewhere, as is sometimes the risk.
