European Communities (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
While "subsidiarity" might not be the word used in other countries, the concept holds for all countries. Important national decisions must remain with national parliaments. This is a very important objective for all countries. While some countries may have their fears, there should be no disagreement in accepting the objectives that we lay down for subsidiarity and proportionality.
