Speaking in a debate in the European Parliament ahead of tomorrow’s European Council meeting, European Conservatives and Reformists group leader Martin Callanan said that the agenda contained two ‘worthy’ and ‘concrete’ issues – tax evasion and energy prices – that need concrete action to make Europe more competitive.

European Conservatives and Reformists group President Martin Callanan MEP debates with MEPs and the President of the European Commission on how the EU can tackle tax evasion and energy prices. The EU will hold a summit on both issues on the 22nd May 2013.

Polling analysis released last night shows that the EU needs to start trusting the voters, otherwise their trust in the EU will continue to plummet, Martin Callanan MEP, Leader of the European Conservatives and Reformists group in the European Parliament, said.
