European Communities (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

For some people, the reality is that the glass is always half empty and for others the glass is always half full. I saw the negative comment. Of the 1,400 significant issues examined, 39 had question marks. A sense of proportionality never goes astray. I understand, particularly in the broadcast media, bad news carries better than good news but occasionally they should reflect on the positive aspects. The Commission has said this is the best prepared enlargement while accepting there are still challenges. The personal views of the Commission which were put on the record yesterday are that there is nothing that is insurmountable. That is the most important message.
