"Mr President, some three years ago I led a march of MEPs down the Champs Elysées in Paris and almost got arrested. My real concern is that we are enlarging the European Union even though we still do not have a single market among the 15 Member States. I have asked the Commission and Parliament to put pressure on the French to lift the illegal ban on British beef. Yet we seem not to have got anywhere. We had the British minister in Paris yesterday refusing to eat British beef. I admit that was terrible. She did not eat it in front of the cameras, but I understand that she ate it in private.
I urge this House and you, Mr President, to make every effort to try and put pressure on the French to lift the ban on British beef or at least to put pressure on the Commission to take action against the French, so that we have a single market before we enlarge the European Union."@en1
