"Mr President, the Commission’s work programme contains a perfectly logical response to the crisis in the eurozone: more fiscal and economic harmonisation, including debt pooling, and common taxation and all of the other instruments of a common finance ministry. I completely understand that. But you must also see that it puts countries like mine in a very difficult position. Plainly we never signed up either for political or monetary union.
Is there not a solution here that would leave all sides satisfied? Is it not plain that countries – possibly not limited to the United Kingdom, possibly other Member States – who are not part of this federal vocation could negotiate some kind of associate membership where we stay in the single market but withdraw from the other policies – on justice and home affairs, foreign policy, environmental protection and so on? Would that not take the sting out of our relations? You would be losing a bad tenant and you would be gaining a good neighbour."@en1
