McIntyre: Prime Minister demands tough but achievable

West Midlands Conservative MEP Anthea McIntyre today warmly welcomed David Cameron's speech on his renegotiations with the EU.

She characterised his demands as challenging but achievable and said they had set out "something worth fighting for".

Miss McIntyre said: "The Prime Minister has produced a carefully calibrated list of demands. They are achievable but some will be extremely challenging.

"His points on migration and greater powers for national parliaments will be particularly hard to swallow for those in Brussels who like things just as they are.

"Our Prime Minister has set out a recipe for greater accountability, flexibility and competitiveness...less red tape, remoteness and self-satisfaction. If he can deliver it he will be doing the rest of Europe as big a favour as he does Britain. He has set out something worth fighting for."
