HL Deb 20 July 1995 vol 566 cc52-3WA
Lord Tebbit

asked Her Majesty's Government:

By what means they will ensure that there will be consistency across the European Union in legal judgments arising from matters contained within Title VI of the Treaty on European Union.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The objective of work under the Third Pillar is to promote co-operation in the fields of justice and home affairs. The general principles of international law and the co-operative basis of the Third Pillar will normally provide an adequate degree of consistency. Each member state is responsible for ensuring that obligations assumed under agreements negotiated in the Third Pillar are observed within the jurisdiction of that member state.
