European Union (Amendment) Bill

May I just finish my quotation from the Foreign Affairs Committee, as it is important in this respect? The Committee rightly said that"““it seems highly likely that, under the Lisbon Treaty, the Common Foreign and Security Policy will remain an intergovernmental area, driven by the Member States.””" That recognition in respect of foreign policy is matched in other areas, including, critically, the issue of justice and home affairs, which has been raised by the Liberal Democrats.
