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

There is already a mechanism for taking into account environmental issues and concerns alongside the work of the World Trade Organisation with the multilateral environment agreements, so this is not a new issue. I was not familiar with the fact that the French Government have made such a proposal and would wish to study exactly what has been said, but certainly I take the view that we should be easing trade restrictions rather than tightening them.
