Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (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 will be aware that Chancellor Merkel has suggested not just that a revised version of the constitution be driven forward, but that she wishes to use the German presidency to drive all member states to join the eurozone. Will my right hon. Friend make it clear to Mrs Merkel that we have no intention of joining the eurozone, and that if the Germans want to reduce their unemployment they would do well to withdraw from the eurozone and reduce their interest rates?
