Proceeding contribution from Tony Blair (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

My hon. Friend is entirely right. The agreement makes the changes that are necessary for the greater efficiency of the European Union and allows us to protect absolutely the national points of principle that we consider important. He is also right to say that as a result of that, we can move on to the areas of discussion in which the people of Europe are frankly far more interested than they are in the intricacies of the institutions.
