Proceeding contribution from Michael Meacher (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 8).

Treaty of Lisbon (No. 8)

We should not underestimate President Sarkozy's commitment in respect of climate change. In fact, he has suggested the extraordinarily radical policy that tariff constraints should be used against countries—most notably the US, of course—that refuse to admit the need to tackle climate change. As far as I know, that policy is far more radical than anything adopted by any other country around the world.
