Blair calls for EU modernisation
23/06/2005 - 08:41:11British Prime Minister Tony Blair today warned the European Union risked failure if it did not modernise and meet the needs of its citizens.
Speaking to the European Parliament in Brussels, launching Britain’s EU presidency, Blair said that “if Europe defaulted to euroscepticism … then we risk failure, and failure on a grand strategic scale”.
He called for reform and renewal of the European Union, but said he still believed in political and economic integration.
