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

European Council

l We have been making proposals to cut red tape in Europe during our presidency and in recent presidencies. The hon. Gentleman misunderstands the success of the Lisbon process: 10 million new jobs have been created in the EU as a result of it. He should tell us the true nature of his inquiry about Europe. He wants a referendum to oppose the amending treaty. He wants that even if it is ratified. He would force renegotiation of our membership of the EU. No country in Europe supports that, and he would be totally isolated.
