The draft details of the UK/EU deal has been released

  • UK would be justified in triggering "Emergency Brake" to deny migrant benefits
  • New safe guard mechanism would run for up to 4 years
  • Deal shall only take effect if UK decides to stay in the EU
  • Treaty reference to an ever closer EU does not mean political integration and does not entail more powers for EU
  • Substance of deal with Britain could be written into EU treaties when next revised

These early details are pretty positive for the UK side, and as I said in the prior post, the pound is acting on that. We're up to 1.4400 once again

Cameron popping up now;

  • Draft negotiation document shows real progress in all for areas where UK needs change
  • There's more work to do

Donald Tusk says that the deal respects rights of Non-Euro countries but does not give them the right of veto on Eurozone matters
