Taking up his seat today (Tuesday) in the European Parliament at Strasbourg, Andrew Duff said:
"In Brussels and Strasbourg I shall fight for a new start for the European Union. It has to become stronger and more efficient to square up to the economic, social and security problems that Europe faces.
"And the Union has to become more open and democratic in order to earn the popular support it needs to be effective.
"Nobody in Eastern England should now doubt that they have a strong voice speaking up on their behalf in Europe.
