European Union Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed)

David Norris (Independent)
I am finishing now. Political goodwill is the lubrication of the European Union and we have had very fine diplomatic representation in Europe, as previous speakers have stated. We have a very high reputation. I was concerned that in this difficult economic time we might sacrifice that goodwill and turn it into ill will, such that although we could not be punished legally, there are other ways of skinning a cat.
