Proceeding contribution from Stuart Bell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
The Prime Minister rightly said that the 27 nation states will make any decision on the single market. He has not told the House that the President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, has been elected president of the 17 nation states within the eurozone, with France on one shoulder and Germany on the other. The President has said that he will inform the British Government prior to any summit meetings and inform them of the results. Does the Prime Minister think that to be ““informed”” is the same as to be ““consulted””?
