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

I shall not venture to advise Chancellor Merkel on the policy that the German Government should pursue. Although she has made it clear that she would prefer to be able to move forward on the constitutional treaty, she has also made it clear that the main thrust of the German presidency’s approach will be to establish whether there is a consensus and, if so, what it is, and that she is under no illusions that decisions can be made under the German presidency.
