European Communities (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

I welcome the Bill. I could speak on it for a long time but there is no need to do so. I do not think anyone will disagree with the Bill. It is another step along a great adventure, which I hope will ultimately lead to a Europe stretching from Norway to Cyprus and from the Urals to Connemara where people can live in peace and harmony and where they can go from one country to the other, where labour can be transferred and where eventually we will have a common defence and a common foreign policy. I believe that some time in the future we will have a common army. We will be able to do these things without fear or favour. We will be able to stand up and be counted which is what this is all about.
