Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) 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 hon. Gentleman was right to concentrate, in his very first words, on the internal market. However, if he has studied the interaction of all the different provisions in the energy framework, he will appreciate the fact that we will end up with several potential choices within a co-ordinated legal system dominated by shared competencies that will preclude member states from being able to pursue their own energy policies. That is where the problem lies.
