Proceeding contribution from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 July 2017. It occurred during Debate on Exiting the European Union and Global Trade.
Exiting the European Union and Global Trade
I remind my hon. Friend and the House that the reason it is a ports regulation is that when it was a directive it was blocked by the European Parliament. So undemocratic is the EU’s legislative system that the Commission can force it through as a regulation, so even the European Parliament cannot block it. What kind of democracy is that, and is it not a good thing that we are getting back control over our laws?
