RENEGOTIATION OF THE UK'S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE EU

EDM number 2101 in 2007-08, proposed by Bob Spink on 21/07/2008.
Categorised under the topic of EU political integration.

That this House congratulates The Mail On Sunday on calling for the UK to renegotiate its relationship with the European Union; notes that its article of 20th July characterised the current relationship as `fatuous Brussels' rules and inflexible British functionaries' and called this `our national curse', stated that the current relationship `repeatedly operates against the interests of this country's small businessmen, farmers, shopkeepers and consumers', concluded that no one `can now seriously argue that Britain's long entanglement with the EU has been beneficial, successful or sensible', and called on Parliament `to think seriously about freeing ourselves from this absurd, annoying organisation, and go back to making and enforcing our own laws'; and calls on the Government to respond appropriately to The Mail On Sunday's advice.

This motion has been signed by a total of 2 MPs.
