"Mr President, I should first make it crystal clear that the United Kingdom would be much better off if we, as a nation state, were able to negotiate our own trade agreements and thereby have trade arrangements in place that can conform, first and foremost, to the needs of our country.
On Taiwan, UK representatives should do what we can to make certain that any proposed trade agreements with Taiwan – which is a democracy and a vibrant one –are not handicapped and hobbled by an extraneous political agenda placed on them by the Commission or, for that matter, by Parliament. We from Britain of course want to retain friendship with China – indeed Britain recognised China as far back as 1949 – but we should not, and must not, neglect future trade agreements with Taiwan."@en1
