"Madam President, I support Mr Brok’s report, but Parliament will understand if I use this short speech to warn how the security threats facing Europe underline how much my own country needs Europe and how dangerous is the domestic debate which threatens Britain’s future in the EU. How can the British Prime Minister call for tougher European action on Russia, then himself threaten European unity to achieve it? What if we want to resolve the conflict between Israel and Palestine, but seek to undermine the EU’s role as a member of the Quartet to achieve that? Or walk away from the negotiating table for nuclear non—proliferation in Iran, where Britain has negotiated on behalf of the EU? Or promote a trade agreement between Europe and the United States, then threaten to remove British business from its benefits? How can the British Government allow my country’s only aircraft carrier to be retired and rely on a French carrier, but then resist the development of common security and defence policy missions, which are both badly needed and which could help problems of overstretched defence resources? When in this debate we talk about common European values which underline our external policy, which is of these precisely is not a British value too?"@en1
