European Union

Cameron gets his will

The British Prime Minister during the Brussels summit are enforced: The EU says the UK rights to its citizens in the Union remain. It is matched in the summer. Bernd Riegert, Brussels.

Self-confidently in Brussels: Cameron leads the Yes campaign

Between the Appetizer and the main course at dinner, continued the plenty of pissed-off President of Lithuania, Dalia Grybauskaite, a message via Twitter. “The Drama is over,” she wrote, short and sweet, as it’s your way. Throughout the day, she had about David Cameron, the British Prime Minister, made fun of. “The need to be Drama, get it,” she had told reporters in Gipfelpausen explains. For the Lithuanian head of state was the whole almost 30 hours of continuous Gipfelmarathon only a staging to the British, to allow home as the winner over the EU to represent. “We play our roles,” said Ms. Grybauskaite. “No matter what we agree on and how much Gesichtswahrung or cosmetics we operate, to decide in the end the British voters.”

Cameron: That’s enough for a Stay

The British Premier has an agreement with the other 27 member States and could, with some relief, say: “I think that’s enough for me, so I can recommend that the United Kingdom in the European Union and the Best of both worlds.” The Best of EU membership and British special role, so Cameron continued. “The UK is on duration of greater Integration except. We will never be a part of a European Superstaats.” He had his goals are reached and warranties of the other member States, said the conservative Premier. During his press conference, gave Cameron a passionate plea for a whether Britain should stay in the EU, there is since 1973 a member of. The Yes campaign for the referendum, in the summer, probably at the 23. June, should come, the Prime Minister has already begun. The outcome of the referendum is, according to polls, is still largely open.

Relief: President Juncker (l.) and European Council President Tusk

The UK may be pulling out

EU Council President Donald Tusk described the agreement as fair and balanced. “We have hard-fought, even over the smallest of Details. That was exhausting and not ungedingt glamorous.” At the end had all the heads of state and government agreed to. It is only when the voters against an exit of Britain, the Brexit, say, the on Friday agreed new rules actually laws poured. If the Referendum is negative, go out, then will also make the agreement null and void. On this “Selbstzerstörungsklausel” had among other Belgium passed. The Chance of renegotiations and re-Referendum should not give it. “We can be as a Phase of insecurity and uncertainty again over the years”, said the Belgian Prime Minister Louis Michel.

The UK should according to Donald Tusk submitted texts excluded from, an ever closer Union with the rest of the EU members to aim for. This “ever closer union” is in the Lisbon Grundlagenverträgen is actually intended.

Complicated Compromises

The British are limited say in the decisions of the Euro-Zone. A Veto against decisions of the monetary Union, the 19 States that belong to you, you have but denied. The national parliaments of the member States should be able to get decisions from Brussels to stop. This would require 55 per cent of the parliaments, i.e., 15 of the 28 member States, to take the Initiative. In practice, so believe EU diplomats, this will hardly occur, because the parliaments against their own governments apply would have. The finally of the Parliament with the majority carried and have in Brussels in the Council of Ministers with each other negotiated.

EU immigrants get less in social security

Up to the end, controversial were the exceptions in social security benefits, David Cameron, the hub had made. He wants immigration from other EU countries to prevent. Since the free movement of persons within the EU, but a unveränderbares basic principle of the Union, should be at least the social benefits for poles, Lithuanians and other EU nationalities can be reduced. Up to four years old these services are now restricted if a whole series of conditions are met. The UK must demonstrate a hardship and an abuse of the social systems. If this is in the UK is indeed the case, argue the experts. The newspaper “The Guardian” had again and again the statistics, doubted that the Cameron government to justify its claims had presented.

A Brexit could be costly

Some Eastern European countries were the British special paths criticized because it is a discrimination of its citizens in the UK are afraid of. “The movement is not in question,” said German Chancellor Angela Merkel. “For all the same rules apply.” Now I have the EU the British Prime Minister a package in the Hand, with which he is at home for of Europe to advertise could put Merkel relieved.

David Cameron told the British should you pounds keep, would have never for the Bank bailout in the Euro-Zone to survive. But this was actually also no one refuted. The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, evaluates the agreements as a success. A further co-operation in the Euro-Zone will not be in the UK fail. Agree, were all the heads of state and government had been that the European Union constantly changes and improves needed to be, said David Cameron. “The EU is not perfect. You need permanent far-reaching reforms, but the UK should do this from the inside out to participate.” The British would only need to participate, where beneficial to be be. “We will have access to the common market and the common fight against terrorism, to participate, but we go there not with you, where we do not want.”
