The votes of Conservative MEPs today reflect our view that Britain should be in a Europe that does less and does it better, not run by a Europe that does more, worse.
There were two types of EU reform on offer to MEPs today. A Conservative response to the White Paper on Commission Reform would enable the EU to do less and to do it better. The resolution on the Nice Summit is the blueprint for the EU to do more, worse.
The reforms proposed by Malcolm Harbour MEP on the White Paper are common sense reforms. British people want reform of the EU to make it more accountable and more efficient. Conservatives in the European Parliament have consistently argued for these reforms.
On the other hand, the so-called reforms proposed by the Nice Summit resolution make little sense to anyone in the world beyond Brussels. They will make the EU more complicated and further removed from ordinary people. They do nothing to help enlargement, such as overhauling the CAP. This is the agenda Labour and the Lib Dems support."@en1
