Sir Bernard Jenkin

Conservative — Harwich and North Essex

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 May 2025

Debate

EU-UK Summit

Contribution

The point is, if people are prepared to compromise on dynamic alignment for food and agriproducts, what issue of principle will act as a barrier to prevent them extending that co-operation to other products or other fields of European law where they think it is ideologically convenient to do so? The only problem is that, if they think they are currying favour with the European Union by doing so, they will be disappointed, because the EU will simply ask for more concessions without making concessions of its own.
