<p>The deal agreed at the February European Council delivers a binding commitment
that the Treaties will be changed in the future so that the UK is carved out of ‘ever
closer union’. It ensures that the UK will not be liable for eurozone bailouts or
discriminated against in the Single Market, and that the Treaties will be changed
to reflect that. It establishes a new mechanism for the European Council to review
EU legislation every year to see what can be done better at the national level and
what can be dropped altogether. It ensures that Parliament will be able, acting with
others in Europe, to block unwanted new EU laws. The deal also secures new powers
to tackle the abuse of free movement and reduce the unnatural draw of our benefits
system, to meet our aim of reducing immigration, by creating fairer rules, while protecting
our open economy.</p><p> </p>
