Quote: Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Cameron has for the first time set out his key priorities for change in a seven-point plan. They are:
• Powers flowing away from Brussels, not always to it
• National parliaments able to work together to block unwanted European legislation
• Businesses liberated from red tape and benefiting from the strength of the EU's own market to open up greater free trade with North America and Asia
• UK police forces and justice systems able to protect British citizens, unencumbered by unnecessary interference from the European institutions, including the European court of human rights
• Free movement to take up work, not free benefits
• Support for the continued enlargement of the EU to new members but with new mechanisms in place to prevent vast migrations across the continent
• Ensuring Britain is no longer subject to the concept of "ever closer union", enshrined in the treaty, to which every EU country currently has to sign up. |
