"Mr President, the Presidents of the Council, the Commission and the Euro Group did as well as possible, given the limited input material. I abhor the veto deployed by Cameron. His demands were not moderate; they were a mix of an attempt to reverse agreed positions disguised as inaccurate invocations of Ecofin conclusions and interference in current legislative dossiers. It was a power grab reneging on agreed legislation. Crafted as a wolf in sheep’s clothing, it maybe fooled some Lib Dems in London, but it did not fool us or me. Asked to save the euro, Cameron gave in to his eurosceptic party. He has jeopardised UK interests, including those of the legitimate City, when there is nothing remaining in the agreement threatening the UK.
In this crisis, there is no worse time to have turned his back. His veto has made the summit result harder to deliver, more intergovernmental and less integrated with this House and the Community method. But I am sure that together, we will find ways to mitigate that effect and do more. I have not given up on Europe or the euro."@en1
