Is the Foreign Secretary aware of Article 34 of the Treaty on the European Union?

What is the Right Honourable member's question on this article?

I am aware of this issue and will work with the Secretariat to look into this article.

[toronto353]

I would like to inform the House that I have suspended work on the EU Bloc temporarily to allow for some redrafting of the Guidance Document of the Bloc to better reflect member states concerns. We hope to present this Guidance Document to the House to ratify shortly.

[toronto353]

Responses updated. I would like to inform the House that the EU Bloc has been restarted after alterations to the Guidance Document.

Just to let the foreign secretary know on behalf of the Arab League the MHoC's application to become an observer member is being considered by the Inaugural Council of the league. The council hopes to reach a decision soon. (Just waiting for Missbanana21 to respond )

What is the foreign secretary's view on the recent problems in Ukraine? Is he going to boycott the Ukranian half of the games, or even suggest that the entire games be moved to Poland?

I have given a response on this issue to the MUN. I am concerned by the problems in the Ukraine and certainly I will reveal my plans and those of the Government closer to the time of the tournament. Since, however, I can not stand football, it it unlikely that I will be travelling to the games.

The Government may not be attending at the moment and so that might not be necessary.

You could always ask to become a Junior minister in the Foreign Office - for example the Minister for Government attendance at the Euros. Whether I'd allow that or not is a different matter.

that'd be a great title! I'd only have to work once every for years, and I could earn a promotion to Minister for Attendance at the World Cup in time for 2014
