Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on Judiciary and Fundamental Rights.
Judiciary and Fundamental Rights
I completely agree with what the Minister says. There has been cross-party support for the enlargement process, but when I held his job more than a decade ago there were 12 candidate countries beating at the door of the EU and asking to be admitted. At that stage, quite a lot wanted to join, so why does he think so few countries now want to join the EU?
