"Mr President, tomorrow in Westminster the Fresh Start Group of MPs will launch its manifesto. This manifesto describes possible changes to the UK’s relationship with the EU whilst staying in the single market. Instead of sweeping generalisations, Fresh Start looks at details and options, and I welcome this. The current proposal on rating agencies is just another example of why legislation designed by the eurozone should not be cut and pasted into the UK. The UK wants international investment, and when our rating is threatened, we try to improve the credit worthiness, not gag the agency. It is these details that can drive a wedge between a free-market, trading-nation vision of the EU, and a sometimes protectionist, often inflexible European Union.
To my colleagues from other countries, I say this: if you want to use the single currency to turn the single market into a federation, then the UK cannot be part of it, but if you want to keep the single market as a free market, then you should want to keep the UK in. If you want to do that, then you need to listen to the reformists when they ask for some renegotiations."@en1
