TREATY OF LISBON (No. 4) (4th allotted day)

That this House approves the Government’s policy towards the Treaty of Lisbon in respect of provisions concerning the single

|
|
|
As an Amendment to the Prime Minister’s proposed Motion (Treaty of Lisbon (No. 4)):

|
| |
Line 1, leave out from ‘House’ to end and add ‘disapproves of the Government’s policy towards the Treaty of Lisbon in respect of
provisions concerning the single market; notes that the Treaty proper now contains no reference to undistorted competition
as one of the activities of the European Union, and indeed relegates to a protocol any mention of competition that is not
distorted, with significant implications for the interpretation of European Union law; deplores the Government’s failure to
block this change during the negotiations; and is concerned that the result could be the revival of protectionism in the European
Union wholly contrary to Government policy and damaging to the interest both of the United Kingdom and of the European Union.’.
