Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 June 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on European Commission.


European Commission

I think the idea of national agricultural policies has great appeal. Does my right hon. Friend not agree that national Governments would be much better than the European Union at targeting subsidies where and when they are necessary, and that the agricultural situation and industry of each member state is quite different from that of all the other member states? It would be much more sensible for national Governments, not the European Union, to determine agricultural policies.
