The noble Lord keeps referring to removing powers. Would he not accept that there is a principle of pooling powers, which is very different? It means that we share authority so that we can find results for the common good of Europe. Of course, when you pool powers you are not simply saying, ““I give up all authority””; you are saying, ““Together we will use our individual powers to find a means of pooling it for the common good””.
