Commenting on the Prime Minister's speech to the European Parliament, Liberal Democrat Shadow Foreign Secretary, Sir Menzies Campbell MP said: "The Prime Minister's analysis is right but the real test of his presidency of the European Union will be his ability to provide solutions which command universal approval among the other member states.

"Britain must avoid adopting an attitude of condescension and omniscience to its partners. The logic of CAP reform is unchallengeable, what is required are the political skills to make it viable."
