Article Abstract:
British Prime Minister John Major spoke at the Conservative Party conference about his dedication to European union, which he believes is aided by the Treaty on European Union. He suggested that the Community would collapse if European leaders continued the move to centralisation. He said the treaty did not commit Britain to a single currency.If he reneged on undertakings the country would not be trusted. His aim was for peace in a wider EC including European Free Trade Association countries and the new democracies of eastern Europe.
