16/10/2008 (Agence Europe) - “EU leaders displayed a degree of unity of purpose that has been lacking for some time,” said Liberal Democrat Graham Watson after the European Council of 15-16 October. The ALDE leader went on, “We need the same degree of strategic policy agreement and coordination on the environment as we are witnessing in the banking sector”. (O.J./transl.rt)
