EU Financial Management

While not agreeing with everything that the hon. Gentleman said, I concur with his internationalist agenda. Is he aware that the unreformed European Union, as it currently stands, is putting some countries off joining? I advise him to read the current edition of The Economist, which outlines the difficulties the Icelandic Government have with possible membership because of the disastrous common fisheries policy. Should that not also be reformed, otherwise the financial problems will continue?
