Horse trading still required on Cameron’s Brexit deal – Harkin

The British Prime Minister David Cameron is
hailing a draft EU deal on Britain’s EU reform demands as a victory. The draft
deal was published today by the EU Council President Donald Tusk. Mr Cameron’s
demands include
an emergency welfare brake on in-work
benefits for EU migrants for up to four years. He’s also calling for a “red
card” veto system enabling national parliaments to club together to block EU
legislation. The
British Prime Minister now has to
convince the other EU leaders to sign up to his demands at an EU Summit later
this month. The Independent MEP Marian Harkin says it will not be easy for Mr
Cameron to achieve agreement on all of his demands.
