answer text

I refer the Noble Lord to my answer of 20 November, Official Report, House of Lords, column WA131.The Government’s position remains the same: the European Union must reform to become more competitive, democratically accountable and fair for those inside and outside the Eurozone. The need for reform is widely acknowledged amongst the EU Institutions and other Member States.The UK’s membership of the EU brings many benefits to the UK, including jobs and investment; a strong collective voice to negotiate free trade agreements; and greater international influence on global threats such as climate change and Ebola.This was demonstrated at the recent European Council last October where EU leaders agreed to the 2030 climate and energy policy framework– the world’s most ambitious targets so far – as well as agreeing to increase EU financial help to fight Ebola to €1 billion.
