European Communities (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

I welcome the recent Nice referendum result which sends out a very positive message to the rest of Europe. If one were to survey the 64% of people who did not vote in the referendum, we would find that they did want enlargement. Basically it was a complicated project of which they did not feel part. They felt isolated from the process, which is a challenge we cannot ignore. However, if we ignore it, we will do so at our peril.
