Proceeding contribution from Malcolm Rifkind (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 5).


Treaty of Lisbon (No. 5)

I am not referring to the commissioners, but to the president of the European Council. If one seeks a comparison, it would be with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, who has often been handicapped by the Security Council's failure to provide the mandate that he wishes and has therefore been unable to deliver policy.
