"Mr President, I am sure it was not intended, but we saw in the debate on this report an almost perfect demonstration of why the United Kingdom, in the long run, cannot remain a member of the European Union on current terms. My colleague, Vicky Ford, proposed, very moderately, that costs relating to bailing out the eurozone should fall only on the participants in the single currency, and the Chamber rejected her proposal. In the long run, you cannot have a situation where countries which choose not to join the single currency are dragged
into the common institutions created for it.
I was very interested in the proposals coming from the German Government for a eurozone parliament. That would seem to me to make very good sense. But rather than creating one from scratch, why not make it this Parliament? Why not have an arrangement where non-participants simply do not turn up, or perhaps turn up only when trade issues are being determined. There is no need to break the whole of the European Union. We can have the federal countries doing their thing, while the others remain in a loose free-trade area."@en1
