Line 1, leave out from ‘House’ to end and add ‘notes that the Treaty of Lisbon makes no substantive changes to EU competence on
climate change; agrees with the Foreign Secretary that climate change agreements already reached by the EU “have done more
to show the relevance of the European Union than any amount of institutional tinkering”; believes that the Treaty of Lisbon
is effectively irrelevant to the vital issue of climate change; and concludes that the Government’s priority on climate change
in the European context should not be institutional change but the strengthening of measures to drive down greenhouse gas
emissions.’.
