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

European Council

I join the Leader of the Opposition in congratulating my right hon. Friend on achieving his objectives at the Council. The conclusions refer to progress with the Lisbon agenda. Is he confident that the target of 7 million jobs to be created in the next year in the EU will be met? Given his leadership in this area over the past seven years, since Lisbon began, what steps will he take to ensure that our European partners pursue that agenda as vigorously as Great Britain?
