Govt backs EU treaty changes
Share
The Government will support a new round of European treaty changes that will strengthen Brussel’s control over economies in the Eurozone.
Prime Minister David Cameron yesterday announced to the House of Commons that he will not oppose the new rules as long as they have no impact on the UK.
He reiterated his position that Britain will not join the Euro, but said that a strong and successful eurozone is vital for the British national interest.
He said: “So I was generally supportive of the Council’s efforts to strengthen the Eurozone governance arrangements. But I was equally determined to ensure our national interests are protected.
“So on budget surveillance let me be clear – the UK Budget will be shown to this House first and not to the Commission.”
