Proceeding contribution from Lord Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 4).


Treaty of Lisbon (No. 4)

I agree with the Secretary of State about the importance of competition and the market, but why is the treaty a step forward, given that it removes the phrase ““free and undistorted competition”” from the legal framework, which is what the European Court of Justice will use when making decisions in important cases?
