Proceeding contribution from Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East and North Africa.


Middle East and North Africa

I agree with the hon. Gentleman's point. That is why we place such emphasis on the European neighbourhood policy being a bold and ambitious policy that offers closer economic integration to those countries. There was a very good meeting of the EU-Tunisia taskforce on this matter in the past couple of weeks. That needs to be followed up by looking at Egypt. The role of the European Union is really in solidifying and expanding the economic links, and I think that that work is going on.
