Proceeding contribution from Lord Roper (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 April 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.
European Union (Amendment) Bill
The noble Lord suggested some time ago that the president would represent the views of Europe externally and that these would be arrived at by QMV. However, he must be aware that external policy—the CFSP, or common foreign and security policy—is still an intergovernmental matter and therefore has to be decided by unanimity.
