Proceeding contribution from Greg Hands (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 March 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
The President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, told Der Spiegel on Friday that the EU has no formal competency on energy policies, which it would have only after the passing of the EU constitution. On getting action on climate change, he said:"““With the constitution, it would be much easier””." Does the Prime Minister agree that he needs to send a message to Mr. Barroso that we do not need to wait for structural change in the EU to get strong collective action on both energy security and climate change?
