Right. Thank you. But what I'm really after is actual examples

of things that parliament have wanted to do but been unable because of EC law. What are the things that Farage wants the country to do that at the moment we cannot becuase of the EC?

Or is he simply complaining about the general concept that if there was a thing as yet undefined that the govt. wanted to do, they might not lawfully be able to because of EC law?
