Proceeding contribution from Crispin Blunt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 March 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

The very first line of the presidency conclusions from the summit are:"““The fundamentals of the European Union economy remain sound: public deficits have been more than halved since 2005 and public debt has also declined””."
