Sir
Daniel Hannan is right to complain about the activities of Commissioner Grybauskaite in Brussels, and her threat to the UK’s rebate. He highlights the contrast between Britain’s farmers, who receive little from the CAP, and continental farmers, especially the French, who receive a great deal. But he could have gone much further.
Britain enjoys the best [...]

National Parliaments Offered Opposing Views on EU Constitution : 28th January 2005 An Invitation from MEPs Against Ratification
Each parliament in all 25 member states of the European Union has been offered the opportunity to hear the views of members of the European Parliament opposed to the EU constitution.
This follows a decision by the constitutional affairs [...]

How many of the European Union’s 662 directly held accounts, held in 45 banks around the world, are offshore?
And how many of the 214,000 accounts with which the EU has ‘regular dealings’ are held offshore?
These questions have been put to the president of the European Commission, Jose- Manuel Barroso, by Ashley Mote, independent MEP for [...]

The European Union should create its own internal security committee as soon as the constitution is ratified.
That was the proposal of Nicolas Schmit, the Luxembourg minister for foreign affairs, speaking in the EU’s constitutional affairs committee in Brussels yesterday (19 January 2005).
He was speaking during a debate on his country’s plans while they hold the [...]

Sir
Yet again Christopher Huhne MEP uses weasel words to support his enthusiam for the EU. This time (January 14) he is talking about EU-UK trade.
Quoting official sources (which means Blair government spin) he says “”more than half our trade is with other EU member states”. Not true.
We don’t expect to be told that “60 per [...]

At Strasbourg this week Mr Mote, independent, south-east England, was refused time to rise the question in parliament and has now [...]

Belgium
Brussels, 18.01.2005
Thank you for your invitation of 6 January to the reception on 1st March, when Mark Thompson, director-general of the BBC, will be in Brussels. Unfortunately, I have to be elsewhere.
As you may know I have been involved in a running battle with the BBC for several years over [...]

Sir
It is with great regret, and from first hand experience that I have to confirm the views expressed by Idris Francis in your recent article Classics Under Threat.
If anything, Mr Francis under-estimates the threat – not just to classic cars but to the whole fabric of our British way of life and traditions.
Be in no [...]

1 I wrote and organised the peers’ petition to the Queen under article 61 of Magna Carta to ask Her Majesty not to sign the Bill ratifying the Nice Treaty. We gave the LC a huge headache, and it took him a year to solve the problem.
2 I have written to the PM (LC obviously [...]

from Ashley Mote MEP, January 2005
As a member of the Transport Committee, I would welcome your clarification and -where appropriate – your confirmation of a number of issues which are currently being discussed in the British press:
1. British road bridges were strengthened to take the larger haulage trucks permitted on continental roads and now in [...]
