<p>The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend
the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) and I regularly speak to our European
counterparts on a range of issues, including EU reform. In addition, since July 2014,
the Foreign Secretary has been undertaking a series of visits to EU Member States’
capitals to discuss EU reform. During the course of these visits, he has met with
the Foreign Ministers of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Croatia, Czech Republic,
Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands,
Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Sweden. He has raised, with these Foreign Ministers
the Government’s position that EU reform is necessary for the EU to become more competitive,
democratically accountable and fair for those inside and outside the Eurozone.</p>
