Proceeding contribution from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 3 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union (Amendment) Bill.
European Union (Amendment) Bill
The hon. Gentleman is right that there is no obligation to be part of a permanent structured co-operation, but that is not the question. The European Union’s policy will be decided by those in the permanent structured co-operation. A member state that is in the permanent structured co-operation can participate in the discussion but be outvoted, and a member state that is not in it has no say in what becomes the European Union’s policy.
