Proceeding contribution from Richard Shepherd (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
Between 1994 and 1999, the German federal authorities noted that 84 per cent. of their laws were passed in Brussels and only 16 per cent. in Berlin. Former German President Herzog commented, ““It has to be asked whether Germany remains unequivocally a parliamentary democracy.”” That question must also be asked about the United Kingdom. Does the Prime Minister not recognise that this country, after 30-something years in the European Union, which has developed into a great state, needs a referendum?
