Proceeding contribution from David Heathcoat-Amory (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on Protection of Critical Infrastructure.
Protection of Critical Infrastructure
The Minister mentioned article 308, which, as he will know, is used to introduce exceptional measures when no other treaty provision is available. He will also know that it contains a requirement that the measures be undertaken"““in the course of the operation of the common market””." What possible connection can there be between national security measures and the common market? Is not this another example of the Commission trying to expand its powers and of the Government yet again giving way and going along with them? As the Minister has already conceded, the Government have a veto.
