Proceeding contribution from Stuart Bell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 March 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

The Prime Minister mentioned leadership in his statement. Is this not an example of the European Union showing world leadership before the G8 plus 5 and the United Nations conference of Kyoto protocol states in December? The Leader of the Opposition mentioned the European emissions trading scheme. Is that not the appropriate mechanism through which to ensure that, by 2020, we reach the 20 per cent. reduction target without penalising or interfering with our manufacturing industry?
