I listened to the Minister of State's opening statement and my attention was caught by the following remark: "The European project is a perpetual vehicle of collective action designed to enable countries to continuously work together to the benefit of all and to successfully overcome difficulties through compromise and negotiation". It is not fair to say that the decisions made in Europe are to the benefit of all. The Minister of State would have to admit that they are to the benefit of some more than others. The "some" are the smaller group and the "others" are the bigger one.
