Proceeding contribution from Steve Webb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 2).


Treaty of Lisbon (No. 2)

The treaty states explicitly that its role is to"““ensure the functioning of the energy market””." I accept that that is qualified by the provision that it shall do so"““in a spirit of solidarity between Member States””." However, it explicitly states that the Union should work on that aim, and I suggest that that will facilitate liberalisation, not stand in its way.
