Thomas Wise, UKIP MEP for the East, says he is powerless to affect the processThomas Wise, UKIP MEP for the East, told MBM:“As you say, the UK Government submitted a formal application for the derogation. I am simply not aware of any process or contact I could have that would affect this over here in Brussels. It remains in the gift of the UK government. “If you know of flesh I can press, please let me know.”MBM has advised Mr Wise to speak to Laszlo Kovacs, the Commissioner responsible for this decision.
